I am looking for a set of snows for my car for this winter. I had winterforces on my civic and enjoyed them, but it doesnt look like they make them for the BMW. I would like to stay below 110 per tire. Any thoughts?

If you go SLIGHTLY taller in the sidewall, you can get the Winterforce’s in 205/60/16 which will be $60, other snows are going to be $100+ int eh size you want. My personal opinion.

Most economical suggestion in the thread, opinion gets replaced with fact when a hand can be run across the back parimeter of the stock fitment tire without knuckles contacting suspension components to account for the ~10mm growth in tire radius.

blizzaks are nice.

haaghkipoeletttios are much nicer. traction wise, and “treadlife”. This was same car, two different winters though.

I had blizzaks, and they were alright. I liked the ones i just had best though, they were icebear 3000’s or something. I got them from the flea market for $260 for 4 in 205/60/16.

EDIT: [http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Hankook&tiremodel=Icebear+W300](http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Hankook&tiremodel=Icebear+W300)

Those are them…
