The x3 has no issues in the snow with its OEM tires, made various trips to tahoe from San Fransicso during white outs without chains. Next year i will get a set of winter tires/wheels for it. Thanks for your input on the 318ti I will go out and get a full set. are the Blizzaks $30 per corner better than the firestones? I know all about summer/Autox tires but winter tires are an unknown to me. Thanks for the help. Carl |
