Are there any All Season Runflats for wheel style 161 with staggered sizing?

Yeah, I know everyone is going to tell me just put on snows. Don't worry I have them{DunlopWintersport M3s-one size on all 4 corners}. I just put my summer tires back on but I may still drive up to close by MT. Hood which can get snow all year. I just am looking for the easy {albeit comprimised }solution.

Whats the piont of staggered set-up without sport tires

If you want all-seasons...then stick with same size all-around

What about spacers to replicate the staggered look in the rears while keeping same sizes all-round...that might be what you are looking for...

Different folks, different strokes...

I have All Season Performance tires on my 162's now. They have better traction than some other summer tires out there (as per ratings on tirerack, who religiously test their tires).

If they came in run flats, I would without a doubt buy them. VA weather does not necessarily demand a dedicated winter tire setup, but you cant go all year on summer tires.

I would expect some all season performance run flats in staggered sizes to start popping up soon...

I guess I'm old fashion

Back in the days....
staggered set-up = high performance tires, and all-season tires =

Now'a'days.. they have "Ultra High Performance All-Season" tires.

Check out Tirerack.com. Lots of choices in all season tires you can use in a staggered set up. I'm using Pirelli P Zero Nero's on 18 inch staggered set up. I know from my last BMW how fast you can burn through summer tires especially if you don't rotate them. I'm hoping this set up lasts a bit longer.

My reasoning {which I think I stated} is I do not want to buy another set of wheels for my winter set up. I want to use my 161's year round and not have the rears stretched like my winter set up.
In any case, thanks for the oppinions and suggestions.

Quick question, does a staggered setup gives better performance/handling than the non-staggered?

For rear-wheel-drives.....but I could be wrong
