Winter tire help?

Having an Alpine white 15' being delivered from NJ. I live in NY so I need winter tires. The rims that are on the car are the 20" black ones. I went on tire rack to go find a set and I cant find a full set of 4. Only the fronts. Does anybody know the size I am supposed to be looking for maybe I have it wrong.

BMW has a winter tire package including wheels and tires. Go with 19 inch to have taller and narrower tires. Also go with square set up. When I got my 13 the BMW pkg came with sottozeroes which I am not fond of. I ordered the OEM wheels and purchased the Bridgestone Blizzaks to go with them. I had to get the first year Blizzaks for this car which were only H rated. They are nowY rated available. I have been using Blizzaks on my cars here in PA for over a decade and swear by them. Nevertheless, even with the snow tires the car is horrible in any snow. I use the snows only if there is snow fall while I'm at work and need to get home. Otherwise, if there is any snow I take my four wheel drive 4 runner. The tire wheel setup will run you around $3K. I hope this helps. Be safe and good luck!

20" Dunlop Winter Sport 3D

I went with Dunlop 20" 265's square set, along with Advanti Racing wheels. Purchased set Needed spacers on back to get a decent fit. Overall very happy with tires in snow and icy conditions.

Drove mine in one inch of snow last week with oem 20" 433m wheels and Michelin pilot sports. Absolutely terrible, I could barely get up my street. My previous f10 was not this bad. Let's just say if there is any snow in the forecast this car will be garaged.
