G30 530e / 540 Winter Setup
Hi Guys,looking for everyone's thoughts and experiences on the various tire choices for a winter setup on the G30.
Wheel wise I'm going to go with 19's on a set of square 664M wheels. Key questions: 1. Should I stick with the 245 40 19 Tire spec. ? Or...downsize to either: a) 235 45 19 b) 225 45 19 2. Tire Choice: a) Pirelli Sottozero 3 RFT b) Pirelli Sottozero 3 non RFT c) Michelin xIce xi3 d) Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 Thanks in advance for everyone's feedback! |

I'd say go with the 245/40/19 size, but since you're in Canada you might want to go with the Michelin x-ice xi3 since that's a proper snow and ice tire.

A buddy has the PA4s on his 7 series and highly recommends them.

I went with Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 in 245/45 R18, this is a nordic "style" tire.
Had to try some thing different after running Continental ContiVikingContact 5/6 for the last couple of seasons and feeling that there where some "wobbely" feel to them on different vehicles (E91 & Skoda). The hakka tires seemes to be more stable althoug only 250 km ob them... |
