Winter Tire Woes for 760

[Narenw1nBarda]

Hi! I'm about to pick up my new 760, but I'm already stressing about winter tires. Given the harsh Minnesota winters, I need a reliable solution, but finding suitable tires for the 21-inch wheels has been a real challenge. The dealership's parts department hasn't been much help.

I'm considering going up to 265/40/21 and 295/35/21 tires, as there are more all-season options available in those sizes. The difference in tire rotation per mile is minimal, but I'm unsure if it's a viable option.

I've noticed the manual mentions that 19-inch wheels are compatible, but the difference in tire rotation per mile is significant compared to the 21-inch setup.

Any advice or experience with winter tire setups for the 760 would be greatly appreciated.

The setup with 265/40/21 and 295/35/21 Continental DWS06 Plus on 21-inch wheels is good. I am pretty sure there won't be any rubbing issues.

That sounds frustrating! Upgrading to 265/40/21 and 295/35/21 could be a good option for more all-season choices. I'd definitely double-check with a tire expert to make sure it won't affect handling or safety. The 19-inch option might be safer for winter, but I understand your concern about the rotation difference. Hope you find a solution that works for you!

How is it? Did you push through with it? I'm planning with this similar setup as well...

Thanks everyone! I went with the 21" wheels. I know 19" is the more practical choice, but I guess it really comes down to personal preference and how you drive.

Dealing with Minnesota snow and those big 21-inch wheels is definitely stressful when it comes to finding winter tires. It's tough to find the right ones. the dealership isn't helping try checking online tire forums or talking to tire shops that work on high-performance cars. They'll know what works. While 19-inch wheels seem like an option, the big difference in tire rotation is worrying and could mess up the car's safety systems.

Awesome! It’s all about what works for you. How’s the real-world winter performance been on the 21s so far? Holding up as expected?
