I own a rwd lowered coupe, drove it all winter last year and bought Michelin x ice tires, had no issues. As long as you're a decent winter driver and have good winter tires you'll be fine.
Pros: no issues

Definitely winters for a RWD, I had a RWD 335i with X-Ice 3 and I never had an issue with tires. The only problem I had with snow was my car basically plowing the streets because it was so low.
Pros: no issue with tires
Cons: car plowed streets
Vehicle:
BMW
I would suggest Michelin Defenders, my JSW had them on for 35,000 miles and look great when I traded the car back to VW.
Pros: look great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 35000 km
Bought Michellin Pilot Sport 4s for my 06 2.3L (figured why not spend a bit more because you don't really buy tyres often)
I'm very happy with them so far.
Pros: very happy
Vehicle:
Mazda
I had Pirelli tires on my car when I first bought it.. Some new all weather performance tires and let’s just say it was quite scary if there was even a little water on the road. I bought Michelin Pilot Super Sport A/S tires and they have been absolutely fantastic. Rain, shine, or snow the grip levels are very high, blow Pirelli out of the water. There have been instances in the snow when I feel the Michelin tires have saved my life. With the Pirellis, I would not even consider taking the car out in the snow. I drive a Mustang GT.
Pros: high grip levels, great performance
Cons: scary in wet conditions
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires. Ever.
Pros: never been disappointed
Vehicle:
Audi A5
Over the last 20 years I\u2019ve liked Michelin the most for normal daily driving, they tend to be pricier than comparable brands but when you factor in balance, noise, traction, and wear I\u2019d say I prefer them.
Pros: balance, noise, traction, wear
Cons: pricier than comparable brands
Michelin is the only tire i've ever seen almost basically take no weight on our wheel balancer (assuming a perfectly straight wheel), even without match-mount. Speaks volumes to their manufacturing processes and quality control.
Pros: take no weight
My first set of marketed LRR tires were Michelin Energy MXV4+ on my MKIV Golf. Admittedly they were great tires in dry and wet until they had some miles on them and went to hell in a handbasket.
Pros: great tires in dry and wet
Cons: went to hell in a handbasket
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I just replaced a set of dry-rotted, cracked Michelin's with tread that seemed nearly brand new. It really sucked to fail an inspection because of tires with so much tread left.
Pros: nearly brand new tread
Cons: dry-rotted, cracked
