Default Winter Tires

As some of you know I just purchased an 04' S2K, I'm trying to locate a set of snow tires before its to late. I want to mount them on the stock 17's for now. I've looked at Tire Rack and just about any other online store I can find but with know real luck. Anyone know of any places online or locally in Colorado?


Thanx for your help

I'm also running 225/45R17's all around. They fit well. A bit big on the front and small on the rear, but what do you expect!

Cool!!! You will really like the M3's. They tend to oversteer a bit, but since they really a snow tire at heart, it's something you can deal with.

Anxious to see your car after the repair.
