I have a 2015 328 xdrive msport:

I need to install winter tires. I have the 19 inches wheels staggered

I cant find the run flat tires here (in QC)

225 40 19
255 35 19

Does anyone found some ? winter runflat

Thanks

Dont put winter runflats on.... they are terrible. Just buy normal winter tires on. or buy seperate rims and get a CAA membership. Will save you money in the long run.

Downgrade your wheel size if possible. i live in quebec as well, and have a set of oem 17's with brand new nonrft performance winters for sale if you want to spend less. Blizzaks lm-32

Do you have the M-Sport brakes? If yes you can go down to 18" if no you can go down to 16". Runflat winter tires are rare so I went with Nokkian Hakka 8 with stud 225/50R/17 RFT. There are other option with Nokkian for 18".

I would do your research before buying RF tires. They don't last as long and I saw a lot of complaints out there.

+1 on 16" if you can.

Runflats? I get the concept but ultimately if it gets damaged you still need to replace it and I don't believe RFT have any better sidewall protection than GFTs. In fact, every tire I've ever lost has been due to sidewall damage.

Enjoying the Michelin X-Ice3 since last winter. Very happy with those.

Honestly, I had a leak on my OEM bridgestones and decided against runflats, they're harsh and very expensive to replace. And in the winter, it's fairly rare you'll get a flat *knock on wood*

I just put not run flat 19s. I love Pirelli SOTTO zeros!

Do you have msport brakes? If so you will likely need 19s in most aftermarket rims. Most aftermarket 18s do not clear the m sport brakes. Only some do. All oem bmw 18" wheels will clear them though.

*I'm assuming the m sport brakes on the 328 are the same as the 335

As for tires forget the runflats. They are horrible.
