Winter wheel setup for M550
I was wondering what the best winter tire setup would be for an m550i? I think 19" would be a good size, but wondering about width and offset? Would a square setup with 255 tires be best? What offset would be best to run a square setup and just use spacers in the rear to keep wheels flush look?

I would agree about the Sotozero 3's. I got a square set of Sottozero 3 245's on 19" 664M wheels in 2017 when I got my 2018 M550. I have no problem with their winter performance, but in each of the three winters that used them, I had a bubble in one of the front tires in March. By that time, they were no longer available, so I had to put the summer set back on early and then wait until October to get the bad one replaced before I put them back on for the winter. This happened for three straight years, and I actually just had one replaced last week that went bad in March. I think that in most cases, and certainly the case for the Sottozeros, winter tires become available in the fall, and once the stock runs down, they are not replenished again until the next fall. So as a result, if you have a problem after the holidays, you may be out of luck finding a replacement. I now have a new 2021 M550, and I am planning to use the same set again. Hopefully I can get through the winter without a bubble - I am certainly driving a lot less these days due to COVID. Unfortunately, I don't there are other options for winter run flats in 19". You could go with non-run flat Sottozeros or Michelin Pilot Alpins instead. |

I have a gone through one winter without issues but I have went with 5% higher profile. Square setup of Dunlop SP WINTER SPORT 3D DSST RUNONFLAT - SIZE: 245/45R19.
