: This may be a little odd, but here goes. I am sure someone else has the same issue.
: I have a 97 E36 M3. I am on two dealer lists in my area for the E46 M3, hope like everyone else to have by this time next year.
: problem...I need a set of winter tires/rims for my current car. 16" set is 30-40% cheaper, will work better. But, if i step up to the 17" set, they MIGHT fit on my E46 M3 next year. Anyone have any idea of what chance a 17" set will have of working on the E46 M3?
: Thanks. If is cold, I have to order soon.
How important is it to you to have winter tires? Do you live somewhere up north? I have been wondering about this issue for quite a while - getting winter tires on M3s seems to be a popular thing to do, but is it because they are not drivable in snow in regular tires, or is it because people are trying to save their rims from corrosion caused by salts they spray roads with? Is it only people from the northern states and Canada who get winter tires? I live in Maryland, and even though we do see some snow in the winter, it seems to be nothing that traction control could not handle. My current automobile is a front wheel drive and has no traction control, and so far it has gotten me through the winters with no prob and no winter tires. I know the RWD makes a lot of difference but shouldn't that be compensated by onboard gadgets? In other words, will I have to get winter tires for my new M3 living in MD?
