Thanks. But 255 is much cheaper. That's why I am trying to avoid 245/265. But to be sure 255 will fit the front and rear wheels?

I am running Nokian 245 front and 255 rear.
Not officially homologated for the car, but they fit on the stock rims. MR |

I ended up getting the new Kumho Wintercraft WP72 tire for my M2C. It's offered in the stock 245/265 size with a 'W' speed rating. Will be throwing them onto a set of MY18 wheels once the temps consistently drop down below 50F.

I definitely get winter, it's 2 months of temps that get below freezing but only 3, 4 days tops of snow. So if it snows I'm just going to take the bus to work. Otherwise I'll drive gingerly on the MPSS's in the cold.

After wishing to have Michelins PA4 I found out, there were nothing on stock across all shops in my country, after that wanted to stick to Conti TS830 and I had the same problem. Both of those options are very good and I have them for 3 seasons on my other cars, full satisfaction.
Finally I had to go to set of Pirelli Sottozero´s 2series and after some driving in temperatures below 5°C, they are not bad also, we will see also how it performs in snow... They are surprisingly quiter than Michelins (both dry and wet surface) with little bit lower grip on wet (done really crazy oversteer - but this was driver mistake mainly). |

I got stuck in less than 2 inches of snow, trying to put car in the garage yesterday, less than 15 feet away.. #TrueStory
Michelin PSS will murder you if you use them in a snow belt climate.. I just takes one patch of "black ice" and you become a 3,500lbs uncontrollable skate board.. My plan is four square, front wheels on winter tires, so I could rotate them.. I just confirmed that set up works without a compromise.. https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=23983559 |

Also, I hit a winter pothole and bubble a good front tire, at least once per season.. It's like a curse.. So it's nice to be able to rotate the damage tire to the back, to wear it out (or do random burnouts) before I replace them.. I know, crazy logic but it makes me feel better.. The part number for the front wheels are: 36112284755. |

Initially I thought of these:
Rims: BMW M Style 641M Black Tires: Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4* (Non run-flat) Rim Dimensions • Front / Rear: 8.5J x 19 | 9J x 19 Tire Dimensions • Front / Rear: 235/35R19 91W | 235/35R19 91W But when I found out that the weight is that much: The 8.5x19's are 13.18 kg and the 9x19's are 13.8 kg. I have made a decision to avoid those at any cost. I will fit 245 + 265 winter tires on the 763 rims as those are SIGNIFICANTLY lighter rims, which will ensure better comfort on winter bumpy roads.

Quick report regarding snow tires. I purchased the BMW approved 641 M wheels (in satin black) along with Michelin Alpin tires in 235 square set up, I believe. Just had a nice storm here in upstate New York to test them out. I was extremely impressed with their performance in wet, slushy snow. Had no trouble maintaining traction in six inches of fresh white stuff. Braking was also excellent. Obviously they give up quite a bit in dry traction. I found cheaper alternatives on some non-OEM wheels, but didn't want to worry about the caliper clearance issue.

https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/6...EL----TIRE-SET The "factory approved" M2C set is 235/35 front and rear, so I guess next season I can rotate front to back. Installing Monday, so I'll report back. My driveway is a couple hundred feet uphill and currently under 8" of snow . . . |

Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4
Just installed Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on the 788M rims in 245 in front and 285 rear.
it was a perfect fit when it comes to handling it worked really well on the 1M and M2 facelift. |
