Most would recommend 17s for winter. I used oem 18s and have 225/40/18 on all 4 bridgestone blizzak lm60. Never got stuck with our few days of snow fall in vancouver (including unpaved hills) with my 328i

I'm a big fan of Michelins. I have Pilot Alpin PA3s on my E91. Never liked the Blizzaks as much when I had them on my E90.
I would definitely recommend non run-flats, and nothing bigger than 17".

I got an 18" set of these this year. Best winter tires I've had by far.

I'm running 225/45/17 dunlop winter sport m3 dsst and it has been flawless for the past 3 years. Excellent in the dry, wet, and even deep snow. Been up to blue a dozen times and they have never failed me.

We are running the Hankook I*cept on the D; they are not bad so far! They are great in the dry, and decent in the snow. Its hard to tell with all that torque on the D

I've been running Continental TS810S RFT winters on style 162 reps for the last two winters and have been happy with them.

I live in Calgary and have a Sunshine Village season pass. I drive 140k each way, every weekend, in a 335i (no xDrive) with Dinan Stage 2 (380hp). My ski buddy insists we take my 335, not his Tundra, unless there is more than 6 inches of snow on the roads. PS - hakkas are the #1 choice of the local ice racer crowd too.

I have no problem running the hankcook Winter i*cept Evo with M5 17s rims, very quiet on dry and wet pavement as well as very good traction on snow.

Willing to negotiate if you're interested.. I Just bought these this winter and will probably be selling the car soon so I have no need for them. Let me know |
