OVERKILL
$100 Site Donor 2021
So, due to the transmission issue with the 328i, I've decided to just park it and drive the M5. Something I didn't ever see myself doing, but oh well, *expletive* happens.
Wife won't give up the Expedition, and I'm not going to fight with her over it, it just isn't worth it.
So, I bought the only winter tires shown for my car on Tirerack, the Blizzak LM-60's. I've heard they are excellent tires and they get a very good rating.
My concern isn't the tire, but the size. Due to the wheels on the M5, I'm rocking 275/35/18 snow tires (on the back, front tires are 245/40/18's)...... That's a wide snow tire. My assumption is that this is going to affect the bite the tires have, regardless of how good they are.
Anybody have any experience in this department? My buddy Andrew, who has a 2000 and runs his every winter IIRC has the same tires and says it performs fantastic in the snow. But my concern is that his version of fantastic and mine may be different. The Expedition is incredible in the snow, so that's my benchmark....
Thoughts? Input?
