Where do you get your winter runflat tires for your 20" wheels?

fooit · 04-28-2015, 08:19 PM

Our car came on 20" with summer tires, so I am looking to get a good deal for 20" winter runflat tires in staggered setup - 315/35R20 and 275/40R20.
What winter runflats do you recommend?
And where were good deals and where to look for good deals on such tires?
Thanks in advance!

I ran the Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow on my 20" wheels all winter here in CO and Iwas impressed. Handled well, quiet when roads were dry, and excellent grip on ice and snow. Deliberately tried to get the X5 to slide on them by accelerating and braking harder than conditions allowed and could hardly get them out of shape at all.
Tire rack has good prices, but do not see them there now. Got mine from the dealer when I took delivery. They might be hard to find until later in the year. Good luck!

Yes, I would love to find Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow over summer hopefully with big discounts.
What I don't know is where to look for them.
Do BMW dealers have spring sales to get rid of leftover winter RFTs?

+1 on the Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow...I put on a set for this past winter and was really impressed with them. Even with their wide stance in deeper snow. They are also decent in the wet, which is nice...since a lot of winter tires offer horrible traction in rain. When I bought my X5, the dealer gave me a $500 parts credit, so I used this towards the winter rubber. The difference ended up being $1,500 out the door, not too bad for tires this size.

+1 but on stock 19's. I got mine at a local Mavis installed for about what I would've paid tire rack not including installation.

Anyone used or heard about Pirelli Winter Carving Edge?
They seem to be a bit cheaper than Scorpion Ice & Snow and the thread is 1/32" deeper.
