Winter tires

I need to get winter tires for my 2019 E63s quick as winter/cold temps are already here in Chicago area. Don't want to buy new wheels, so I'm just going to have to deal with buying 20" winter tires for my stock wheels.

What sizes are you guys running? I'm looking at 245/35/20 Front and 275/30/20 Rear Pirelli Sotozero IIIs. This is about the same differential in total tire diameter F to R as compared to the stock sizes of 265/35/20 F to 295/30/20 R.

Get a set of wheels and tires from tire rack.

265 40 19 Michelin PA5 on 19 inch rims is what I'm running

245 and 275 section widths are ultra stretched on stock wheels. More sidewall on a 19 is a better plan for chiraq streets

That is exactly what I got from Tire Rack as well. They have been delivered to the shop and will be installed on Halloween.

Found a used OEM winter set (wheels and tires) on Ebay and had them powder coated black. New brake pads for less dust and I'm very happy so far.

I didn't know 19s would fit over the front brake calipers. I'll take a look at tire rack.

Are you running a square setup? 265/40/19 on all corners?

go fast grocery getter wagon
the key is finding 19" with as close as possible to the factory offsets and width and the wheels themselves may not be guaranteed for total clearance of front caliper.

I got a steal locally on some 20" Pirelli sotozero III winter tires to run on the stock 20" forged wheels.
