I'm starting to regret the fact that I didn't get X drive..

but then again.. when summer comes back.. I will be happy once again..

OMG, those OEM RFT 050's are downright dangerous in any bit of snow. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. They have no stopping power in snow. Get a lift from the rents until you get snows or all seasons. DO NOT DRIVE IN THE SNOW WITH THE 050's!!!

SGxi they are non-RFT; I have the Dunlop Winter 3D's...seem to be very nice all round. I carry a can of propellant in the trunk.

Tonybest · 11-20-2008, 01:12 PM

The new law in Quebec is for December 15th this year... but next winter, it should be November 15th... Even rental cars have to abide by that rule... It makes sense.

I changed them last Sunday... back to 16 inch 156's ...

ians · 11-20-2008, 01:22 PM

That's also my winter look that taken on spring time:

We should have post the dirty/snowed E9X pic and have a contest on who got the dirtest E9X!

God I wish I owned a tire business in Quebec. Their business must be booming!!!

Bimmerista · 11-20-2008, 02:35 PM

Here it is.

And owning a tire shop in Québec is indeed sweet this year...... The most popular tire sizes are sold out and waiting times for appointments to change tires is about 3 weeks.

Cool. I know they supply the propellant and pump in the back of the car for summer performance tires, just curious to know if winters would be RFT.

darklord · 11-20-2008, 07:10 PM

funny, maybe it quebec that is causing a shortage here in Toronto...I heard from a couple of tire dealers that they are backordered for a number of sizes right now...

alexhjs · 11-20-2008, 08:37 PM

Anyone here have any experiences with Pirelli Winter Sottozero 240 RFTs?

I got them instead of the LM-22s..

GAM3OVR85 · 11-27-2008, 02:21 PM

here is mine

Evolution_GT · 11-27-2008, 03:19 PM

Here's mine, have mine on for about a month already. I honestly hate the rims, but I can't complain for the price I got the rim/tire pkg for!
