This should not come as a big surprise but, if you plan on using Tirerack for your winter wheels and tires, you should hurry.
I just got off the phone placing my order. Out of the Dunlop M3 (I wanted 17 in) for the season. I got the Michelin Alpin PA2's instead and was told that there were literally only a few sets left of these and the other popular winter performance tires. If you want them, better hurry.

Was...
2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
Just put mine on at 1:00 today. Is that late enough??
BTW, I never realized how noisy the Dulops were. I was never expecting the snow tires to be quieter. Now I can hear the exhaust even better.

I just looked at the weather channel and it appears that the snow tires won't be necessary for at least another week.
I also have garage space so will be waiting as long as I can. I am looking forward to getting rid of the noisy runflats though. Will be replacing them in the spring as well.
