17\" rims and tires for winter

Zebra99 · 12-07-2011, 07:00 PM

Hey guys,

I will be picking up my new 2008 335i convertible full loaded Friday morning. I\'m in the Toronto, ON, CA area and winters can get bad here, but at the same time they can be pretty mild.

Can anyone suggest a good winter set-up that would be good all around?

I hear x-ice\'s are no good in the snow and are more for ice/dry road conditions. On the flip side, I hear Blizzack\'s are great in the snow, not so good with ice and warmer/dry conditions.

WTF do I do? This is my first BMW and rwd car... Anyone know of a good winter tire that can support this ba mixed whether we get here?
Also, price point I\'d like to be under $1200 w/ rims if possible!

Dunlop M3s, Blizzak LM60s, maybe Nokian winter tires

Got some good reviews on the nokian's, but then again it was a dealers rating of a bunch of different tires and they deal primarily with nokian's lol. However, saw good reviews on dinlops. That'll be an interesting tire to try out
