It's that time of year again...winter tyre threads

[CondorX5]

Inevitably, the same questions pop up on a seasonal basis and we must have a dozen old threads on winter tyres on the forum, a lot of which is repetetive, ie what tyre is the best / what size wheels will fit etc etc - perhaps it's time to consider a Sticky for Winter Wheels which amalgamates some of the existing threads? I have a BMW Tyre and Wheel brochure from last year with all the correct info and have an interest, as AW8, pvr and others, in using appropriate winter wheels, so I try to help out when these new (but very old!) questions pop up...... perhaps a Sticky, please, AW8 / pvr??? The same thing happened at BMWLand and that sticky is a very active and popular one!!

I agree with your comments.

Are you volunteering to create a sticky post that can be incorporated within a one stop & remaining active discussion thread ?

[AW8]

If a sticky is created,(perhaps by cut pasting useful info), then other threads could be locked & with a link the the sticky. It would be difficult to merge all useful threads as discussion content specific to individuals render the much of new thread content out of context.

Thoughts....... ?

[CondorX5]

Agreed - a lot of discussion on the threads arose from individual questions. I think your way forward is the best solution to bringing the Winter Wheel threads to a single discussion - people would still find the locked threads if they search, but everyone would be directed to a new single Sticky on Winter Wheels as well. The single thread on Winter tyres and wheels seems to work well as a sticky elsewhere.

Thanks for thoughts....... So that just leaves the one remaining question then

[CondorX5]

Just to add - didn't reply to the last part of your post I've got the official BMW Brochure on wheel and tyre sizes and types etc, so can put this in a single post as a summary if that will be helpful - will do it this evening if it will be helpful. I've got E53 and E70 info, possibly X3 and X6 as well, but will concentrate on the X5 for now.

[AW8]

Okay that would be great......

Matter for you how you do it. No rush as plenty of useful content on here in meantime.

Thanks

[pvr]

Good stuff

[AW8]

Thanks for doing this - now made a sticky.

Just a quick note - For any new winter tyre queries not specifically prior discussed in this thread CondorX5 has taken time to start a new discussion thread with faq's included. Clicky
