I drove a 4.8is with the stock 20" Diamari's on the BMW performance center's other worlds course and they did a great job. The course was muddy as it was raining at the time and I had no problem what so ever going up and down the rocks or through the wet dirt.I doubt you will go flying down a dirt road expecting to have the same grip as you would on pavement but you shouldn't have any problems.

The Diamaris are street tires primarily for summer driving. I assume you are talking about the 20's? They are not meant to be an all season or off road tire. I certainly wouldn't put my Diamaris through that especially knowing what they cost! You will get better traction off road with your winter tires.

I'm not going off roading - I just know from experiance (about 5 years back since I've done this type of thing) that these trails I'm driving to get to the *bike trails*, at times, it can be muddyy, etc even though it may be listed otherwise.
Sure wish there was some sort of insurance plan that covered all tire maintainence costs (dismount/mount/blance/tire damage) etc. I've replaced 2 of these damm tires which is more than enough that I would like to remember....

How many miles can you expect out of a staggard set
I am thinking about running a staggard set of 20's and selling my 20 inch Hartge's...I have new good years on those and was wondering what to expect out of the d's?
