I'm very impress so far by the handling in the snow with these tires..... They performs well even at -20 degrees Celsius and lower (-4 F)
Bought General Altimax R12s. Tig does great in the snow. My front sensors also go berserk during the snow. Nuisance, but nothing that bothers me too much.
Ill throw another one in here, I have used general altimax arctic tires on my e30 for about 5 years now and love them. Im down in PA, USA but have managed through 8 inches of snow in my car and they lasted me about 3 winters (plus one summer cause I was lazy).
I’ve got Bridgestone Blizzaks on mine and absolutely love them.
BUT the General RT43s are cheaper, long life, and offer better performance.
Blizzaks and X-Ice are great tires but rather expensive, there are some great cheaper alternatives (General Tire Altimax Arctic)
Normally I'd say to stick with Bridgestone Blizzak, Pirelli Sottozero 3, Michellin X-Ice 3, or Continental WinterContact Si's... But $200 for a slightly used set on wheels that fit your car? Can't really go wrong there.
I highly recommend General Altimax Arctic.
I'm running Bridgestone re71r on my daily driver. Even with the low power and light weight I'm already down to 5/32 out of 8 after 4 months.
I bought a set of new take off wheels for my Golf. They came with factory fresh Bridgestone Ecopia 422 Plus tires. Anyway, these are the crappiest tires I've had in 30 years of driving as far as on center feel / tracking. Car demands constant attention to go perfectly straight on the highway...always wants to go slightly left or right. Going dead straight is total white knuckle territory.
