Even if you just need tires it's worth checking unless your old tires are totally bald. Getting the free mount & balance for buying both + the money I got from selling my old rims & tires together was cheaper than just buying tires and having them mounted.

Put on my Weatherready 2's the other day, pretty happy with them so far.
Perfect for days like today where it was 2 degrees overnight and 14 in the day. Don't feel like I'm skating on ice in the morning with my PS4S's, and destroying my old XIce's in the afternoon.
One thing I didn't notice earlier, they're made in Canada!

How much is a tire mounting machine? Can we all chip in for one??
Canadian Tire just quoted me $180+tax to swap my winter tires over, wtf.

Come on, man? You know the proper thing to do is to put the winter tires on a separate set of wheels!
And then it's just swapping the winter & summer set, which you can do in your driveway / parking spot.

My most memorable experience with Braiden Tire was when I was looking for a helmet.
I went in store and a guy showed me some helmets. He dropped one on the floor and it cracked. Picked it back up and asked if I wanted it, and if yes, he'd give me a 15% discount (pending Brad's approval.)

I know... usually yes. But the cheapest used set of OEM wheels I could find for the i3 on Craigslist, was $1800.
And there's only a single aftermarket wheel in existence that fits the i3, and it's not in stock anywhere in Canada. $1400 + tax for a set from TireRack, and then shipping and duties and tariffs and whatever else haha.
19x5; 5x112; +43. Yes. 5" wide wheels  .

In case anyone is waiting on the CC3/CC3 Sport locally the word on the street is that they aren't coming till at least spring 2026 and that might even be optimistic.

So that is one concern on the BMW i3 ... you probably searched all weather in that size? If it is so hard to find wheel, the only other option is to go all weather and keep those on year round.

with euros its worth a try to go to the dealer to get a set, you can get some weird deals since no chinese guy would buy an extra set of winters wheels
I had winters for my slk and I also got a set of chains for it too

Some times some of the dealers have ok deals for winter sets. It's not gonna blow your socks off but also not anywhere close to their retail either.

Some guy on Reddit tried 255s 
195s might look a little less ridiculous but probably still kinda sketchy haha.

Ya . There are only 3 tires in North America available in 155/70R19:
1) Bridgestone ECOPIA EP600: all-season tire (OEM and complete garbage. never ever again!!)
2) Bridgestone ECOPIA EP500: summer tire (currently on the vehicle))
3) Continental VikingContact 7: winter tire (needs to get on the vehicle because it's 5C right now!!)
Also in Ontario you get an insurance discount if you swap over to winter tires in the winter. So we'd have to give that up, even if there were all-weathers available.

Tire options for the BMW i3 are really absurd. A friend used to have one, and he told me there is like 1 tire choice for summer, and 1 tire choice for winter. From searching on TR just now, I see 1 summer tire, 1 all season (ie. 3 seasons), and no winter options at all.
