Winter wheels and tires swap on my F80 BMW M3 - ready for snow!

[@anders949494]

i like the winter wheels more. looks good in all black

[@TommyLGarage]

I agree. But I get tired of stuff too much lol

[@Amaurylopez2004]

I like the look of the 18s OEM as well👍🏼😊 Good job tommy

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks! And 18s ride so much better

[@oRicardoHetfield]

Maybe i'm the minority but i like "smaller" wheels on thick rubber on this type of cars, looks so "racing" and normally improve comfort and grip!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Great job, township inspector 🤓

[@TommyLGarage]

Had to get on her good side

[@manuelsterling1193]

a tip : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@elishamario5988]

@Manuel Sterling Yup, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)

[@ndrio]

Perfect! I got my answer for replacing a staggered summer setup to a square winter setup and the stretch that I might have 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TommyLGarage]

Glad it helped!!

[@dommarin9629]

Why do you run square set up for the snow? Can I still run 275 in the rear?

[@Fukumon922]

Very cool black wheel!!

Thanks!

This sound is very nice and I love the F80 M3 it will remain beautiful a long time , it will not age

I agree

I like the winter look. 18 looks awesome and I like the color

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks. I wish that design came in 19

[@edgarchieng2130]

LOL at the inspector, pretty much the same with my kids except they insist on helping, so I always have to figure out a way to let them help me without disrupting what I'm trying to do :D Love you videos, keep them coming.

Thanks! You won’t regret it

[@luhrenzo]

Tommy L Garage Seeing as you daily drive this car no matter the conditions and you mentioning you’re ceramic coated your car, have you also gone the extra mile to protect the paint and have PPF installed?

[@TommyLGarage]

No ppf for me. Not worth it. A car will always have imperfections. I embrace them!

[@OscarCastillo1]

I ordered a set of Pirelli WInter Sottozero 3 run flats for my 340i M Sport. 225/40-19 front and 255/35-19 rear. Not many options for all season or winter run flats at 19". Great vid. Nice car. Cute kid. You are blessed.

[@TommyLGarage]

Sotozeros are amazing I heard

[@OscarCastillo1]

@@TommyLGarage BMW officially offers them as an option through dealers, but at almost 45% markup per tire. I got mine at Tirerack and still get the same $70 dollar rebate from Pirelli.

Are you in NJ? If so let’s make it happen

[@jeremy_yyds]

Tommy L Garage Noooooooooo Tommy. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 😭😭😭😭

[@zommywommy771]

I like both sets of wheels, probably because I like black and darker colored rims. Would you powder coat your summer set black?

[@TommyLGarage]

Actually selling the other ones

[@Upwardsdown]

Awesome video as usual. In terms of black weights, you can buy them from amazon and get your shop to use them.. No excuses then!

[@TommyLGarage]

Ahh good idea !!!!

[@theguy1224]

Awesome channel tommy. I'm also from NJ but northern jersey by NYC. I used to have a dedicated winter wheel/tire package but decided to be extra dangerous and i'm rocking all seasons for this winter lol. My car is a lease and i return it next summer so i figure keep the all seasons for this last winter before i give it back lol. Also in my opinion, i would keep a black wheel setup. My friend had an M3, with darker bronze wheels, not gold. And it didn't look right. At least to me. He liked it, but only for a couple of months. Then he went back to black wheels.

[@TommyLGarage]

Not a bad idea. I might go black wheels next

[@krys_syfres]

The m513s are amazing! I have a set on my f30 😏 they’re super light too

[@TommyLGarage]

Oh yes. I wish they came in 19

[@krys_syfres]

They would be amazing if they came in 19s. But compared to my m sport wheels they looks great, especially with the m performance brakes

[@ShiftedPerspective]

Considering that's a winter setup, it's legit!

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks!

[@jbucky1678]

Hi nice video. I’m getting a separate winter wheels setup like you’re. I need to add the TPMS sensors….. do bmw’s automatically configure to understanding the sensors or do I need to get it reprogrammed by a dealer every time I swap wheels?

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes you’ll see them auto program after you drive

[@brianguan9517]

did you have to reset the tire pressure monitor after each tire change?

[@TommyLGarage]

No; it resets itself

[@andylai2244]

Are the 437m wheels winter approved with all the salt on the road ?

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes for sure

[@according2me353]

Yeaaa I do the same thing out here in Tampa for the winter season...

[@TommyLGarage]

Hahaha funny man

[@Cliffracer46]

Hey Tommy, couple questions if you don't mind: is this your everyday car? Does it snow often where you live?

[@TommyLGarage]

I’m in NJ. Snows every year. I drove through snow. See below kzbin.info/aero/PL65h1whPFrF5aaRRnsVA0X8hFTHncLXon

[@erikfriedel]

Nice vid! Any advice for how to put on the new tyre and first bolt without breaking your back and without damaging the rotor thread or the paint on the rim? I struggled with 20 inch ones on X3...same tool setup as you btw. Cheers

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks! I suggest you do a stud conversion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaK5nKmwlKp0j6s

[@Louiseban]

Could you let me know the winter wheel's model name? i like it!

[@TommyLGarage]

It’s 513M

[@Louiseban]

@@TommyLGarage Thanks!!!

[@pmanliu]

Thanks for comparing the stretch! Not many pictures floating around and this made me feel better about running the same sizes on 513m's (not yet mounted, slacking). Question though - did the front dust boot on your MPHAS come off?

[@TommyLGarage]

No problem. Glad it was helpful. The dust boots are there. I kept them on when I did the swap

[@pmanliu]

@@TommyLGarage yep I see the boots in the video, but it appears they "fell" down a little? I thought that the top part of the boot was supposed to be sandwiched between the spring and top hat. Right now it looks like the strut is exposed to the elements.

[@TommyLGarage]

pl it goes back to normal when the car drops

[@TheSiudun]

18 looks killer

[@TommyLGarage]

Thanks!

[@jmciver767]

Considering how often you swap wheels for the track and the winter/summer, why no wheel studs?

[@TommyLGarage]

Maybe next season

[@cbrdurox]

Beautiful car. Everything done very tastefully.

[@TommyLGarage]

Thank you :)

[@kagisomabuza8669]

Why don't you get the CS wheels in a frozen/matte black I think that would be really sick🤔🔥🤾🏻‍♂️

Tommy, how do you drive with front splitters? Mine got damaged only 2 days with only eibach springs lowering.

[@TommyLGarage]

Nope. Idrive 5.0

[@BastidasBryan]

Do the 18" rims have enough clearance for your brakes?

[@TommyLGarage]

Yes. They’re OEM wheels

[@bryanh2952]

Tommy, now that you have the crank hub done are you considering turbos at all? Just got my crank hub done and now I’m thinking about turbos next lol

It’s actually better to have a slimmer set up like you have for winter driving. It’ll cut through the snow better. So the stretch is to your benefit. 🙏🏾

[@TWHISPERER]

Have you had any issues with your car?

[@TommyLGarage]

[@Stevel024]

I crashed my M4 in January because I had summer tires and DSC off, I think though if you have DSC on you can get away with summer tires on a clear day in winter... I'm still wondering if I'm going to get winter tires on my M3, I definitely won't be driving in the snow though.

[@TommyLGarage]

Braking is compromised too. I would not risk it

[@jeromea.4215]

With snow tires you need a little wheel spin to get going sometimes, especially on a hill. MDM mode or traction control fully off is more appropriate.

[@palknig4569]

Hi Tommy. Thx for all the vids, When you adjust your MP HAS, or remove the spacers, do you do a new wheel alignment then? And btw, you should give the township inspector a tip about the noisy lawn mower next door :-).

[@TommyLGarage]

Technically you should do the alignment but I don’t bother.

[@HeathHerring666]

This is going to sound overly critical, but why are you NOT keeping both hands on the wheel when your intentionally doing powerslides (left hand on steering wheel and your right hand on the shifter), but when you’re going straight and steady, you keep both hands on the wheel? Not only is this a very bad habit of yours, but it’s also a very un-proper driving technique and makes no sense at all. Your daughter is adorable 🙂

Also, they did reach out to me and say if I’m serious, they’d consider an 18 inch version. Which would have been awesome if I didn’t decide to put my car on the market.
