I've heard the Nokians are the ultimate winter tyres, if you're in extreme conditions. The Dunlops were great for me, but I didn't have deep snow apart from leaving my parking spot
My choices were the Dunlops, Michellin and the Nokian's. Since I do a lot of highway speed driving I almost went with the Michellin's because they were more of a performance based tire plus a higher speed rating but I'm really happy with the Nokian's. Very stable in the snow. I had Dunlop GrandTrek SJ5's on my FX35 before I got the X3 and they were great too.
