At any rate, I can definitely see where tire selection would impact the speed limiter now.

If you remove the high-speed limiter, then you get the low-speed limiter, which limits you to a lower speed, since the a/s tires aren't rated for higher (and for liability reasons).
So I'm NOT opting for a/s tires and will buy winter rims and tires when I get 'er back home.
And besides, the BMW Canadian Price Sheets confirm that opting for a/s tires [2TR] "will delete [remove] STD or 100% equipment 840 [high-speed limiter]." That's a quote. |
Do you know how much it limits the speed?!
I don't plan on tracking the car. Am I insane to go with all seasons??
I figured I could buy 19's with performance tires and use the all seasons for winter, rather than having to buy winter tires and rims and a set of much needed 19s.
