I would try Discount Tire. They have done well for me. There are some other tires like that available too from Bridgestone and Pirelli.

I had been buying from discount tire for 5 years now, but unfortunately this time they wanted too much money for Dunlop Winter sport 3D (about $280 a piece in 245-45-18 size), and no one else seemed to have them in the country. So I passed on winter tires and jumped to all seasons 19"s. Will see next winter season, I maybe getting Pirellis winters since they run around $190 in 18" and reviews look pretty good.


Update: I finally got my 19" wheels and tires installed 5 weeks ago, here are the pics, see post #884 :
My ride pics with new wheels

And check my sig for specs, I went with oversized tires on 19" wheels square setup and no suspension mods, thanks to your ground proving work guys

The only drawback to this setup compare to stock 17" wheels is that I added about +4lbs per corner with those style 128 wheels, and that affected acceleration not in a positive way
Also, it looks like I need 12-15mm spacers in the rear for flushness.

If you were hoping for a really quick sports car you should've started with 1000 lbs less car weight

I like the way my e61 goes but I'm also spoiled by the Dinan Stage 2 software.

I do not understand why you are posting those photos in this thread. The thread is relative to "X" cars and yours is not so it only makes the x drivers sad to see yours
