I should get my 330xi in a day or so - in preparation for the New England snow I called Tirerack and ordered snows in the stock size (205/50/17). They're sold out of the Michelin Pilot Alpins and the Dunlop M2 Sports are special order so I went with the Blizzak LM22s, which seem to have gotten good scores in TireRack's testings. Dry handling was more of a priority than pure snow traction for me, so either of these three tires are better than the standard Yoko Guardex, Blizzaks, Alpins etc... Unsolicited plug: TireRack managed to beat the car here- the tires arrived today (ordered on Thurs am, shipped Fri) Thanks Josh!
