Choosing Winter Tires

jonecasey · 10-14-2008, 04:27 PM

I am about to order some winter tires for my E92 going with 225x45x17s to mount to a set of 157s.

I see two viable options on tire rack and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with the Michelins

Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 ZP and the other option
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 RFT

I am looking to stay with RFT. Any advice would be appreciated. I live in Colorado and drive to the mountains to ski regularly.

Too bad the Dunlops are back ordered, they are an excellent tire, I use them on my wagon, that being said I would probably do the Blizzaks myself considering the price difference and the good reviews.

A lot of people who order 18" CSL wheels to go with a winter tire package usually go with either the Blizzaks or the Dunlop SP Winter tires.

Out of those two I would probably go with Bridgestone Blizzak tires

Given that the Primacy Alpin PA3 is a new tire this year no one really knows how they will compare to the LM-22. We have had very positive experience and feedback with the LM-22.
