Out with the snow, on with the 19s!
OK, I had time this afternoon, so I made the switch. The 17s are in the garage awaiting a serious cleaning once I hook up the hoses in the next few weeks. The 19s are back on, and after a quick trip around the block, I can't say enough about how great the X is with the big rubber. The 20s are probably even better.

Oh, and for those of you who don't know, I can't stress enough how much help the wheel hangers are in putting on your own big rubber.

Thanks to Lee in Toronto for turning me onto the hanger.

I switched mine over yesterday to my 19" spring/summer/fall setup

I'll be stripping the old original Michey 'tars off my 18" Style 69's some time this summer and mounting a set of Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22's on for next winter. I got about 65K on the OEM Michey's, and could easily have gone another 10K I suspect. Great tires, for sure - but I'm looking forward to seeing how the dedicated snows work out next winter.

The LM-22s are great tires. had a set of 17s for my old Audi A6 4.2 and the thing was amazing in the snow. And the dry.

Never took off my wheels during the winter and will still be driving on my 19" wheels/tires (SoCal) :p

However, I think I need new tires for the M3 soon

It's a sure sign of warmer weather to come when we've got our winter tires off for the season. Finally!

Cool tool there Rangerfan - that would have come in handy.

The wheel hanger is awesome. I've got 2 arms working for me again, and those 19s are still a PITA to mount. Those suckers are heavy and awkward!

same here! (I'm in SC)

While on the subject of tires: My right front need to be replaced. Do I also have to replace the left front? (I had a bad tear in it a few months ago, so I replaced it then... it's practically new -- maybe 10K miles on it.)
