When I lived in an area requiring winter tires, I favored Blizzak WS tires. I believe they are up to WS90 now, but we started back in the day of WS60 and have also had some successor models. The ones we had were not noisy.

-winter tires are significantly louder especially on dry pavement at highway speeds, even worse on worn tarmac. Those litttle sipes in the tires which pack and grab snow create a ton of noise -winter tires have significantly less handling prowess in dry than the summer tires, this is by design as the actual material they make the tires out of is naturally less sticky in dry/moderate conditions but retains the stickiness in very low temperatures as well as holds on to ice and snow worlds better. (Summer tires basically do not hold on to ice snow at all) -controversial statement: (the tire police are going to come after me) if your driving experience is dominated by the side effects of running full winter tires you may be in moderate conditions most of the time and high performance all seasons might have been the right choice for you. I run staggered pilot sport A/S 3plus on my xdrive m340 and they are basically as grippy in dry as the blah stock run-flat summers (thanks michilin superior engineering) and the grip is much stronger as temps continue down to and below freezing). Snow traction is "get you home" good enough, it is not as good as dedicated winters so it's a personal choice where the right trade off is. |

My M340I has 18in Pirelli NRFs. When I took it in for it's first oil change after a year and 5k. The tires measured close to new. My E46 330ci has MPS, directional. Since they can't be rotated they make a lot of noise after 15/20k, other than that, great tires.
