Good luck with the blizzak. Had a set a while back and was extremely disappointed. Kept them only for 1 winter. Pirelli were also disappointing. I have been driving on Nokian Hakkas for the last 6 winters and would never go back.
Love the wheels though. Nicer than the standard wheels ( although they are growing on me). |

One thing I'm not concerned about is the wheels. Love them.

Well my personnal experience with Blizzaks and Pirellis was that it felt as if i was driving on ice all the time as soon as there was snow on the ground. Poor traction and scary braking. Even worse on real ice. I have had only RWD BMWs (335i, 335is prior to the M235) and found the snow/ice driving to be confidence inspiring and handling on dry asphalt to be superb. No studs (not allowed in the office parking). Limited noise.
Nothing but positive things to say about Nokians, well the Hakkas (5s before and 7s now). Don't know the R2s. |

If you were in Montréal I could help, but Boston is a bit out of my area ... besides you're probably a Bruins fan, there is so much I can/want to do for you

Also there may be a difference in what one person thinks is a good snow tire versus another, depending on where you are in the country and conditions, etc. I got the performance winter LM-32 because for me the most important thing is how they handle when the weather is fine and being good enough to get me home, when driving slowly / carefully, if I am out someplace and it starts to get bad. The WS80 is probably better to be driven when it's crap out, but like I said that's not as important to me. That's what the Macan is for. |

Sorry for the bad pic was in a rush and it was pouring outside. Fit is fine no clearance issues at all.

17x7.5 BBS SR with 225/45R17 Blizzak LM-32. Went to the trouble of a test fit now bc 17" scared me for clearance. One more admittedly subpar photo.
