I have Falken Ziex 912 on my e92 and they're horrible in the snow. This is my second year in the winter with them and now I'm definitely investing in a set of snow tires for next year.

452's are great but they aren't gonna do it for the tri state winters. But I love mine 3/4 seasons. Also remember that these have a rounded side wall. I had to get a larger size for the tires bc it didn't cover the rim as well as generals

I've had two sets of them, and both times I received one or two of them were not round. I had to send them back since roadforce balancing couldn't come close to balancing them.

I'm assuming you have a separate set of snow tires for the winter? A/S tires + snow do not mix good at all. |

My old crappy kumhos on my E30 were far better in the snow than these. I got a $300 pickup truck for my snow beater lol |

I have 452's as well and they're great in the seasons excluding winter. You'll need snow tires no matter what.
