Since last time you saw it I upgraded the brakes to 312mm rotors with ATE 57 calipers in front and 256mm disk brakes in the rear and replaced the heavy Mercedes replica 18" wheels with BBS RK's in 8J 17 wrapped in sticky kumho KU-36 rubber.
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)
I also run the AT51's on my Wrangler. Fantastic tire at a great price. They are smooth, quiet and have excellent traction. I highly recommend.
I’ve got Bridgestone Blizzaks on mine and absolutely love them.
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 second all the Blizzak comments. Ran LM32s on several high power RWD cars with solid traction in the dry and able to get my Mustang and Jag around in snow just fine if it wasnt touching the undercarriage.
The LM32s had more dry traction than the factory all seasons on my Veloster Turbo.
I actually have the Kuhmos on my 530, and I've been pretty happy with them. Very quiet and seem to grip well. Just my two cents.
I have the RSe05 (17x8) with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A 235/45R17 and I noticed I have slight chunking of the blocks on the outer shoulder after one heavy track weekend at Barber Motorsports Park.
I went wit Nitto 555s on the GLIwhich has a much bigger tracttion problem than the R's....huge ride, trn-in and traction improvement. OEM there was the rimprotectors known as Bridgestone RE050As in 225/40/18....horrible crap.
