Winter tires 205/55/16
Hey guys so I'm preparing for winter already so I'm looking for winter tires, right know I'm between the bridgestone blizzak ws70 and the Michelin x-ice xi3. I wonder which one has better performance for a e90, I have all seasons atm and even though they work on the snow its not the best performance. So go ahead and throw some opinions/recommendations
Thank you! |

It's relatively easy to notice the difference between true snows and performance snows (mostly on dry roads), but between premium tires in the same class it's silly close. |

Both are great choices. Between the two, the Michelin Xice Xi3 has a bit better dry road grip and quicker steering response while being just as good as the Blizzak WS-70 on packed snow and ice. In loose or deeper snow, the WS-70 has more traction.
You may want to check out the replacement tire for the old WS-70, which is the WS-80. Winter http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AH8&...nter/index.jsp

Yes, given those driving conditions I would lean towards the WS-80.
