Consensus around here for non-studded seems to be one of these three:

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2
Blizzak WS80
Michelin X-ICE XI3


I'm running Hakka R2s right now on an X4 since I maintain a dedicated set of winters. I think they are excellent winters. Be aware they are only rated for 106 mph.

I've used Blizzaks in the past on an X6 and was happy with them but sold that car before I got through half of the tread.

I've used Dunlop S3 Wintersports and they are decent.

I've used Pirelli Sottozero once and would never again.

I've never tried Michelin X-ICE, but read they can be a good choice over the other two if you have more days with cold dry roads than snow and ice.
