I'll be driving it through the winter, but not much snow in Huntsville, AL. We get a little cold, as low as 30 sometimes. Wouldn't mind having some snow shenanigans though .

I just put a st of WS60s on my car on AP1 wheels. I can attest to the fact that there is big handling difference.

I can't wait to try them in the snow though.

blizzaks are good but the very best would be the nokian hakapeliitas... it thin that i spelled that pretty close.

the haka 5 if you want studs, and haka r if you don't. they are a bit more spendy, but they are the best snow tyres in the world... well except for the haka 7 but that doesn't come over from europe untill next year.
I have Hakkapeliitta's on for this Winter.

And a remote start.

I'm ready!

i bought a set of WS60s this fall and had them mounted on my spare set of Black PC'd AP1s

Yes, I find them to spongy or squirmy in the dry. Cant wait to see how they do here in Pittsburgh winters! (Edit: Center caps are now gloss black with red "h's" to complete the look)

This will be my third winter running wintersport M3. Most of the time the roads are clear so I am happy with the great dry road handling they provide and fairly good snow performance.

How much better are these Blizzak WS60 tires or hakapalitas in the snow?? I know the dry peformance is much worse than my wintersports but is the snow traction night and day difference?


Keeping in spirit of posting winter pictures...here is mine:
