I do know that $60 covers the mount/balance/install.

If you don't want them to do any of that, you tell them when you pick up the tires and you will be refunded the tire installation fee.

Did today's weather give the folks at Costco, Cdn Tire, and Kal Tire a bit of a slower day?

Just got 3 inches of snow! Nitto Motivo M&S tires are a fucking joke in the snow. Will be switching to my Nokians when I get home from work. I left my Motivo's on just to see what they were like and wow the fact people are going to take that rating and use them in snow is scary.
Berz out.

Need some advice about winters, gonna be mounting it on the current staggered set up (8.5f, 9.5r on 19s)
Should I go f: 235/35 (2.02% variance) and r: 245/30 (0.29% var) or 245/30 squared (f: -0.74% var)? Or do I go even narrower?
I feel like I won't clear 245 front :/ but the options given on 1010 has either too small sidewall (max 35 for no variance) or too skinny of a tire

More sidewall for snow tires. 35 is already thin 30 is ridiculously thin

Rolling diameter on the front doesn’t really matter, unless your car has a speed sensor for tire inflation. Keep the rear as close to stock as you can. Only downside is the front will be ever so slightly lower.

According to 1010, I can't run anything smaller than a 35 profile, but the 35 profile are ridiculously skinny. I've crossed out what I can't run in the front, due to fitment.

What's the stock size, and can an 18 or 17 clear your brakes?

2 Rear 17x8.5 Offset 50 245/40/17
I'm not sure if a 17s would clear since I have BBK, but 18s should clear, considering 18 clears the M3 brakes.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk | There's some E46 M3 owners who run the Style 68's for winter with no issues. Just buy the 225 45 17 winter tires and thrown them on the oem wheels. Much cheaper than getting 19in tires.

I have a set of 19x8.5 square BBS CH on the WRG2s
As well as a set of 19x8.5 f and 19x9.5 r. VMRs on PSS, currently mounted.
I don't think I have space for two sets of wheels+tires lying around

The larger and wider your wheels are, the thinner the tires have to be to keep the same diameter. Find the smallest wheels you can that clear your front brakes and go from there.
