E43 with winter tires
Pics as promised. The aftermarkets dont look half bad and they seem nicely finished and good quality. Even the wife liked them. Ill report on driving later since I havent had a chance to do so yet.

It was 70 degrees till Saturday in mid WI. We expect first snow on Wed...... I wouldn't be caught dead with P zeros in the snow, not even a little bit. Summer tires are absolutely useless in any frozen precipitation. I'm sure you wont have to wait long for your fluffy stuff, maybe by the weekend.

Also, what size, load range, and speed rating are the rear tires?

One thing I was even happier about is that they are matte like the rest of the car. For 200 a piece they sure beat black "steelies"
and are a much saner than 1000 dollar a piece MB oems.

Update on Sottozeros 19
On cold dry conditons the sottozeros are splendid, great handling, quiet, all around better than any allseason tire Ive ever used. A nice bonus and something for those that want the smoothest ride possible, the 19 inch rims raise the level of comfort to full luxury class levels, the harshness that can be experienced with the 20 inchers on broken pavement is completely gone.
Ill update once we get some snow, but up to now, Im thoroughly impressed with the non-snow performance of the Sottozeros.
