I don't have an e90/92 yet but I've heard nothing but good things about the xdelete

I thought you sold that car

Nope.  I threatened to a few years ago.  It's been sitting for 2+ years.  I finally fixed a radiator leak, installed a bigger turbo and a built T56.

I have no interest.  AWD is why I own the car.

I like dangerous games... Hmmm

[straight6pwr]

may i remind you last year we had a 5-12" snow storm on April 15th.

[REKIII]

Well....50° is when winter tires start to get REALLY squishy and wear very fast.  So....based on the forecast, you can either drive like a Grandma and still have bad wear, or you can risk maybe 1 or 2 days of crappy driving on your summers, on the outside chance we get a measurable snow fall.

Are you even from here?

A few nice days in March and people forget what state they're in. There's a month of sub-freezing temperatures and possible snow in our future. The consequences of getting caught 100 miles from home on summer tires in a snow/ice storm is a lot worse than a little tread wear.

There's a reason my member title is what it is. You don't want to do it, trust me.

And your user name is because you like Rolos and front engine front wheel drive cars.

[Rekpoint]

I think I'm gonna do it

[Jdesign]

Plot twist, I never used my snow tires this year. (sorry for all the snow)

Yes.  Yes I am.  I'm not nearly as well off as most of you here, so saving the tread and driving a bit slower in the unlikely event of a storm looks pretty good to me.
