Thank you for sharing! The next time you have a chance can you let us know the exact make/model of your tires so we can look them up?

Blizzaks
Dalrx, thanks for blazing the trail for me. I followed suit after trading e-mails with Gill at Tirerack.com - I ordered the 205/55R-16 Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60, the 16 inch sport edition a7 wheels and the BMW center caps.
I should get the stuff next week. Given what BMW charges for their winter wheel packages, I'm really happy.

I have the LM-25 Blizzaks on m,y 135. The old pair on my wifes G35 ...I don't know which model. I got them about 7 years ago and sold them with that car. I remember their big claim to faim was the ability to "grip" the ice. They sure did work well...just had poor tread life.

Here is a great video at tirerack on winter tires vs summer and they compare the ws60 on a bmw coupe. As matter of fact all their test videos on tires seem to be on bmw's which is great imop!

Success!
Tires, Rims and BMW caps arrived from Tirerack yesterday. All I had to do was pop out the generic caps and snap in the BMW ones. They look awesome. I was a bit sceptical of ordering tires from the US using Tirerack. I've had nothing but hassles ordering stuff as basic as a US made t-shirt from the US - crazy brokerage fees, etc. However, I had absolutely no problem with Tirerack. I think I saved a ton of dough using them! Definitely get in touch with Gill via e-mail to place your order (see the main "Tire Thread" for contact info and details) - he was very helpful. BTW, the BMW caps are only available if you speak to a sales rep - they aren't on the web page.
