I mount four Bridgestone Blizzak WS-15 snow tires on my stock basket weave wheels (225/65 16) and they work great! The ride gets a little cushier with the snows as compared to your summer tires (mine are Dunlop SP 9000s) and your cornering will suffer a bit, but you will be mobile in all but the heaviest and sloppiest stuff.

'95 840ci

: I know it's only June but can anyone give me any advice regarding snow tires and/or winter wheels for my '97 840ci?

: Twice last winter I darned nearly had several accidents in downtown Stamford (CT) in only 2" of snow. Even with the quaintly named "Traction Control" operating correctly, the car was fish-tailing and skidding etc. I had to leave it at work and beg a ride home from my boss - a Lexus owner! Most embarrassing.

: I have had new Michelin "Pilots" fitted which may help a little. What do other 840/850 owners do in snow? I use my car almost every day. Are snow tires & wheels available?
