Switch BM3 FlexFuel to stock for winter?

FBO 6MT 2018 F80 M3 running OTS BM3 FlexFuel tune living in the Northeast. Car is a daily driver. Anyone flash back to stock tune for the winter months? Does it reduce wear and tear on anything? Usually take it easy in the winter months anyway so debating on it.

It sure would increase your safety factor by stepping it down during the slippery months. Go back to the Stage when the summer tires get warm enough to work.

It won't make a difference in terms of wear and tear on your car but as Jimmy said it's less power so less room for mistakes during the slippery months.

I would probably just fill up with pump gas, drive in efficient and call it a day. Throttle modulation is very good in efficient mode

Put winter (❄️) tires on, not all seasons and enjoy. I'm using e85 in NYC and enjoying it with flex map. Leave traction on if you're worried.
