What better place to ask about snow tires than the Vermont/NH/Maine forum? I going to get some dedicated snowtires for my other set of MS3 wheels (yes, I know, they're 18's, but I don't mind, I love the wheels). Thinking about the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 tires. I've also heard about Michelin X-Ice. Anyone have any preference or input?

I have Blizzak's LM-22's sitting in the garage and am thinking of selling since I am probably going to go to all seasons soon...off of a speed 6...I'm in Nashua NH if you are interested...only has about 5k miles on them...

I think Nokian Hakkapeliittas are the best snowtires on the market. I put a set of Hakkapeliitta 5s on a 2006 BMW 330xi and it was like a Panzer tank in the snow. I actually left a Subaru STi with Blizzaks in my rooster tails in the middle of a snowstorm. I've had 4 sets of Blizzaks and they are not bad just they do not last long. I was average 2 seasons out of a set. The first set of Hakkas I had 4 seasons out of them.

I just sold my first set of Nokians today at work for a 08 335i. I could not believe how much the wheel and tire package was. The package included Beyern Five wheels and Hakkapeliitta 5 225/40/18 tire for $1799.95. I also had to sell the customer a TPMS KIT for and $319.95. That was alot of money....
