Nobody!? There's a 10 page thread about people fighting over snow tires vs x-drive, but no one wants to weigh in on this?

I have Blizzaks and like them. Never used Pirellis though. I did sacrifice handling with the WS-70s, but I have crazy snow traction. They are a little louder as well.

Truth be told, I'd rather keep the allseasons on cause I'm a drifter. If you cant handle sliding then I do reccoment WS-70's with DTC fully on.

The runflat Blizzaks are probably the LM25RFT which is a more performance oriented tire than the WS70 but still has better snow and ice traction than the Pirelli. Unless you are in a very light snow area, I'd stick with the Blizzak.

Went with Nokian Hakkapeliitta Rs myself. Very happy with them so far. They invented the winter tire back in the early 1900s.

Was that really first post worthy?

Blizzaks for sure

I just put the LM25 runflats on my 328i. They have made a world of difference. I had a set of Continentals all seasons on the car before. They are quiet on a clear road and have great traction. I'm not much of a fan of driving in the snow. Now, I kind of look forward to it.

Sorry next time I'll try and write War and Peace just to appease you and your criteria for "first post worthiness".

What can I say, I like my Nokian tires.
