G90/99 Winter Reviews Anyone?

Hey all, has anyone had an opportunity to push the beast through any real winter scenarios i.e. heavy snow and icy highway conditions. Does anyone have any feed back so far with their experiences?. Being from Alberta Canada, we have to put up with both shitty Trudeau and unforgiving Alberta winters so im sure we'd all like to hear some input of experiences - as it pertains to winter of course...

question, do you get the M5 ex factory already on winter tyres? In Europe it seems not possible!

Perelli Scorpian winter tires work.

Front 285/40/20
Rear 295/35/21

I need to go in and get them swapped out.

Curious if most of y'all use the same wheel or buy wheels and tires for the winter to make it easier to swap them out?

Aa long you know a good installer use the same wheels (more cost effective and get tire balancing every time)
I used same wheels for my m8 for 3 years with no single issue (except 1 time installer damaged one of the tire and he got me a new one for free)
I bought the scorpions and will be installing them soon

Make sure you get the the Pirelli’s with the 108XL load rating. The 285/40/20 version also comes with a 104 load rating that is WAY too low for the M5.
