Yes. And my snow tires are staggered in size as well. I think you want the extra width for the wider tire for autox/track. Snow tires, well, not, but what the heck.

THe 330i was actually well balanced on the track. I could easily rotate the rear and got myself into some trouble a couple of times by using trail braking like I do in my E30 M3 and rotated the rear a bit too much! I think you'll see more understeer issues autox'ing than on the track and you'll definitely notice the weight. Power management could be a real problem, we'll see.

I hope you do come out to a driving school, I am an instructor in the club so look for me. I'll probably bring the 330i out again in the spring-trying to kill the runflats so I can buy some PS2's!
