Nexen Winguard Sport 2 Winter Tire Review $444 for (4) tires

Wanted to do a quick review for my fellow midwest / northern state friends who might be looking for a cheap winter tire setup on stock 19" wheels. Tire rack recommended a square setup for my 2018 M3 even with the staggered OEM wheels.
I purchased (4)-255/35R19 Nexen Winguard Sport 2 96V XL Winter Tires from ebay for $444 and had them mounted and balanced locally for $100. So all in the setup was $544 which I think is a killer deal.

We have had three or four significant snow storms already here in Missouri and these tires have performed very well. This is my daily driver and I was able to get around with no slippage or drama at all. I have driven in extremely slick conditions and never felt like I was in any danger; the car just had solid grip. I know this is a dedicated winter tire and that is what they are supposed to do but I am still pretty amazed at how well this car can perform in winter conditions with the right tire.

Hope this helps any other budget minded M3 daily driver

Hi,

So you was able to install these on our stock staggered 19" wheel set up?

Yeah my shop was being difficult about it and so I pulled up tire rack.com and showed them the recommendation for my car.

No problems at all on the road they just feel different than summer tires.

I also had no issue, they are just a tight fit and can be a pain. I had the dealer install mine.

Just the rears are an issue then because of the stretch from 255 to a 275 capable rim ?
I'm just wondering if anyone has done a square 18" set up with higher profile, like 255x45x18 for example. Maybe no-one in here but does anyone recall seeing anyone do this, do they clear the rotors for example (non CCB).

Dealer made me sign a service order saying "255/35r19 is not the recommended rear tire size" but still put them on. If my car falls apart I guess I shouldnt trust the internet as much
