I'm moving from Atlanta to Minneapolis later this year and I'm also battling with the dilemma of whether or not to switch to an xi from a 2003 330i ZHP. After reading all the posts, I'm leaning towards keeping the RWD and getting the set of snows, but that's from not knowing the snow conditions in the Twin Cities. Any personal experience with either AWD or RWD from this region?
  
Thanks,
Sam

#74 of 80 Nokian Tyres Deal! by wobbler800

I saw the question of the best snow tire and it is by far made by Nokian. I just got a set of Nokian WR G2's from Josh at tiresbyweb.com. He said for February they are offering $10 off each Nokian tire! Use coupon code CARCLUB. Figured I would pass it along.

"Best" is a relative term.
 
Are you looking for summer performance rubber for taking your car to the track?
 
Are you looking for winter tires for maximum grip on slippery or deeply covered road surfaces?
 
Are you looking for tires which are simply inexpensive?
 
Are you looking for a performance all-season which will give you more grip than you can (legally) use on dry streets and which are passable during the winter months?

I've had very positive experiences with both of these tires:
 -- Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3
 -- Michelin X-Ice Xi

#80 of 80 spare tire for 328xi 2008 by seykar

Nov 30, 2011 (8:36 pm)

can any one tell me where can I find a spare tire for my BMW 328xi 2008 which presently has 225/50/R17 RFT tires (they are new)? I have checked with BMW and they find nothing for 328xi. I need one with cover since trunk has no spare position. I don't want to messup my trunk. Thanks
