Winter Tires?

Im very close to pulling the trigger on a new M2 manual. As this will be my daily, living in MI I'll need to put on winter tires before delivery. What size and type of tires are you running on your M2's?

I've heard good things about Vredestein Wintrac Pro, and they are very affordable. They have the stock front size of 275/35/19, but the closest they have for the rears is 275/35/20. Will these sizes work?

If I were to purchase a wheel/tire common instead, could I go with a square 275/35/19 setup for all 4 corners?

I do not have my car yet but those are the tires I was going to get. Hoping the 275/35/20 won’t be too stretched but would really like to make them work. I was planning on using aftermarket wheels for summer and the stock wheels for winter.

Yea you can do the 275/35/19 on all 4 wheels; that is exactly what I’m running my ‘24 M2 with on OEM ride height.

I ordered a set of winter wheels and tires from T1 Motorsports. I got a set of OPE FF06 wheels (19x9.5 square setup) and Michelin Alpin 5 tires (275/35/19) for $2K shipped. It's not a big difference in price to avoid swapping tires twice a year.

Have had the Wintrac Pros on my last two cars now and love them.

The dealers wants $1800 for stock sized Pilot Alpin 5's mounted on the stock wheels. Or, I can get a set of 19's w/the Vred's on Tire Rack for $2k, or just the 19/20" tires for a bit over $1k. But was leaning towards just the tires to save a few bucks as long as the rears will work.
