FS: Winter Tire Setup - 17" Dunlop Winter Sport M2 on OEM Style 57, 85% tread

RevJunky · #1 04-02-2009, 09:23 PM

I just recently got a Brembo big brake kit and can't fit the 17" wheel anymore. The wheels are GENUINE BMW style 57 wheel. Wheels are in very good condition, no curb rashes or dents. Tires are Dunlop Winter Sport M2 225/65-17, they have 85% tread left. Used for 2 trips to Lake Tahoe so they have about 3000 highways miles on them. Located in Southern California. Willing to ship if buyer pays.

SOLD!

So do you need an 18'' or a 19'' wheel?

Snow may be melted but be prepared for next season!

New member here! Actually, it's been soooo long, that I needed to re-register again.

Revjunky - I don't know if you've sold your tires yet, but I am interested IF they can fit my wife's vehicle and needs.

She owns a '06 X5, 4.4i which currently runs low profile, 19in. wheels. It has the sport package and other good stuff (including brand new Michelins). It is absolutely the worst drivin' in the snow rig that I've ever owned. My '67 Barracuda drove better on ice and snow!!

From reading a FAQ here, the 17's and 18's will likely do a much better job for me, but i have no idea. I also have no idea if the tires you're tryin' to sell will fit my wife's X5. If they do, will your 17's with the Dunlop's truly do the trick. If so, I'm interested.

I've heard of "spacers" here, but I don't know if I made a purchase of a smaller wheel, if I'd need them. If so, is it more about esthetics or out of necessity due to tolerances or some such reason?

Thanks for any help you might be able to give me. If you've already sold them, then congrat's to you on the sale, but I'm wondering if you still might enlighten me as to the questions I've asked. I also believe in being prepared, be it some 6 months away or whatever. I can't have my wife slippin' and slidin' all over the road just tryin' to get out of my level driveway, much less to work. And no, she's not a lousy driver, I found it to be totally worthless in the snow as well!

Much appreciated,

Ken

I also have a 4.4i with sport package and the OEM 19" wheels. I live in southern california and only make it up to snow area a few times a year and it was downright scary with the OEM 19" Michelins in the snow. These Dunlop snow tires make a night and day difference. Better yet they perform and handle extremely well compared to the oem 19" tires. The ride quality is also significantly better due to the higher tire profile.

They'll fit your wife's 4.4 fine.
