535i sport package tires

I have a 535i on order for ED on July 3 and want to add the sport package, but the wife doesn't want it if it only comes with summer performance tires and not all season.

Can anyone confirm if the sport package comes with all seasons or with summer tires?

Wouldn't you need winter tires for driving in the Chicago area anyway? So why not get the best of both worlds and go summer for the summer season.

Well I think it is time for you to educate your wife that all season tires are a marketing joke. There is no such thing as an "all season tire."

Either way you look at it, you're buying a high performance RWD car and you also live in Chicago- you need both summer and winter tires, so get the sports pack and then buy a set of winter wheels.
All season tires are good for clueless drivers of Ford Escorts living in Alabama. Anyone living in an area that gets regular snow, ice and freezing temps NEEDS winters tires.

I am so glad that summer tires work year round here. So simple that way!
