I'm checking into snow tires for use on my 735i with winter arriving in the not too distant future. Mind you, where I live snow arrives early and stays late and 3 or 4 inches per hour accumulation is not unusual. So I need a tire that will go through snow but will not break the bank either. I plan on going with 2 on the rear for this year to see how the car performs then switch to 4 if need be.

My Goodyear dealer has a couple of conventional looking snows he'll sell to me for about 70 dollars each which seems like a pretty good price. I don't care to rush into this but I would like to know what others think. Blizak is great they say but expensive and wears out quickly. Anyone have a snow tire to recommend for the 735i? I've got the standard 15 inch rims. Where do you get your tires (Tire Rack or national chain store)?
