Maybe a stupid question but I want dedicated Summer and dedicated winter tires.

I am getting the M sport and I dont the LS2's.

What are the real world options for getting rid of those? Sell them online? I asked my dealer and they are kinda taking the hands off approach... How can I get the most value from the LS2's so I can get some fun summer and grippy winter rubber?

Thanks!

It depends...

It depends on how long you are planning on keeping your X3.
It depends on if it's leased or owned.
It depends on if you are going to get non-runflats.

My suggestion: Keep the LS2s. Put them on the shelf and buy dedicated summer and winter non-runflats. When you go to trade/sell your X3, put the runflats back on, thus avoiding losing that cost.

The car will be kept. After I ge my use I will have kids that will be driving and it will be passed on so it is not leased and owned.

No run flats here...

I was going to buy some Blizzak LM60s because I live in snow country and wanted to get some $$ for the LS2's to fund a summer tire.

I was looking for ways to sell them. I assume that this size is not the everyday size that will make for an easy sell to anyone other than an X3 M Sport owner...

Has anyone had any luck getting rid of these?

Thanks again.

You might try the "normal suspects":

An ad on this and other BMW forums.

An ad on Craig's List This has always been successful for me when selling tires and/or wheels. The local audience and local pick-up avoids shipping hassles.

eBay as a last resort.

Take off or "as new" tires usually bring 50 to 60 % of the new price at TireRack or discounttire.com

Excellent... That is what I was wondering...

Thanks! Looking at the LS2's they are expensive too!

I'm guessing the only practical way to get rid of them is this:

Ha! that is true... In my case that will be after 30,000 miles...
