Just got a 2010 135i, needs snow tires, HELP!

New to BMW, and new to the forum. What kind of snow tires should I get for the OEM 18' wheels, and will the size 225/40/18 fit all front and rear wheels just fine? THANK YOU!

Just FYI, you're better off getting dedicated 17" wheels and tires for the winter instead of paying for removal and installation every year.

Thank you for the advise! The thing is, i think I will get some new rims in summer, so, i would use the OEM wheels for the winter.

i am doing the same thing. i got 245 40r18 blizzaks from tire rack all same size. all said and done it it was just shy of $1k driving off. tires were 900 and 100 to get them put on at sears. as you can see they scratched the heck out of one of my rear rims so these are def winter rims now. they fit great and i got it aligned after the install at the dealer. everything came out good. hope this helps.

get dedicated wheels. if you're interested, i've got a set of 17s + blizzaks off my '08 135 that i'm selling.

Thank you, guys! I already applied the 225/40/18 blizzaks, running good, no rubbering or anything. Can't wait for some wheels in few months.
