You need to live in a better part of the country where you can drive the M2 all year.

You've seen my posts in another thread. Rears have been replaced with PS4S 295/30 as a visual deterrent to any STI driver tailing me thinking of "wanting some"

Like you, fronts are still good.

Done this on plenty of other previous BMW's shouldn't be worried unless you are changing model of tire.

What? I drove it all winter, thus "the snows are off'


I have my snow car for the oohhoo snow, RS6 still has her snows on.

The wider rear tires is VERY tempting....

I am going to sick my friend who has a heavily modified STI launch edition after you! He's in the Scranton area. He also has a heavily modified Merc AMG CLA 45. Both of his cars are crazy fast.

Well you can thank Aronis for that. If he kept the snows on we wouldn't be getting this April snow!

I was going to take my M2 out of hibernation and off to the dealer for an oil change. Not happening this week!

Aronis should know better....I am afraid we will be getting snow til May now!!

It can snow, but it's not going to stick much, just go slowly and bring extra underwear.

Getting close to 25k on the stock PSS, rears are less than 5k miles from the wear bar.

Mike,

you are a good sport.

I could/should have blamed myself for "summerizing" the snoblower.

7:30 OR start in AM.....no need for extra underwear (at least I hope not )!

In Toronto we have sub 10 degrees Celsius all week. I won't be taking my snows off until my early morning drive is at least 7 degrees.

The RS6 is running great.

I have some electronic issues which I choose to ignore.

148,000 miles on the clock.
