    Question Winter tires

    Hello everyone. Lovin’ this this community and thought I could tap into it for some wisdom.

    I just bought a 2010 128i coupe (E82) with sports package. It’s in great condition and man I’m smitten.

    It’s never seen a Canadian Winter and I’m looking for a few recommendations on some Winter tires.

    Finding it tough to match the measurements when searching online:

    Front: 215/40/R18 Rear: 245/35/R18.

    A few mid-to-high range recommendations with the measurements would be greatly appreciated.

    I was looking at anything from Nokian, Michelin, Pirelli to Bridgestone but when I plug in my ride nothing seems to come up in the searches. Thinking a good ice ‘n snow tire.

    Any help would be most appreciated, my brothas and sistas 😃

    Have you tried www.tirerack.com. Plug in the tire specs and see what’s available. Then see if a Canadian retailer Carrie’s them.

    I concur with M3M that Blizzaks are a great snow tire.

    Blizzaks 10,000%. It's the only way I got around in the winter when my E36 was a daily for six years.

    I've heard really good things about Nokian , and they should know something because Winters are harsh in Sweden,Finland,& Norway. I've only ever used some Dunlop Graspics (I think) and currently have some Nitto NTSN2s that were very good when new. The General Altimax Artic is a good one too, and yes of course the Bridgestone Blizzaks as everyone else seems to recommend.
