I have a set of Pirelli's 225/45/17 on 17" rims. I have the same rims with the same size continentals in summer. I have to say i think they are brilliant. When it's colder and more slippery i find that everyone else is in my way and teetering about where as my car feels rock solid. The car feels solid on the motorway and even did a couple of high speed laps around sliverstone.
When the weather is warmer there is less ultimate grip, but i love the sense of feeling they give. You can feel the tread blocks move around and it makes the car feel more alive.
This is my first winter on them. I was impressed by the feel and drive of my father cars 530d Msport last year on Vredsteins winters and that was the reason for buying mine. I have been so impressed my Wife's X3 on second hand Bridgestone Winter tyres we now have two sets of wheels and tyres for all cars in the family.
