[midwest 340xi 6sp]

I just put WS80's on the wife's x4 today. Non rft's.

I generally don't like snow/ice winter tires and go performance winters (which I have on my M235xi).

She's got different driving needs than me and I thought snow/ice rubber would be best for her.

I know the WS80 will do the job in snow. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they drove on dry pavement and highway.

Was concerned they'd be way too soft and they weren't at all.

I went with the Pirelli Sottozero Serie II RFT and so far they have done really well. Here in Denver, there was a good amount of snow over the last weekend and the X3 performed like a champ in the snow.

On dry pavement, almost cannot tell the difference from my all season Pirelli tires. I am glad I purchased these. The dealership had a good deal on the tires also. Almost the best price I could find.

I also have these and pleased with them. No increase in noise level over summer tyres

These tires score poorly in most Northern European testing (which, unlike much of what happens in the US, isn't industry sponsored).

Best winter non-studded/performance tire names are Nokian (R2) and Michelin (X-Ice 3 or 4, if you can get it). I am on my second season of 19" Dunlop Sport 3Ds and am satisfied.
