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.
I've been quite happy with my Nexens on my E39. They're quiet and smooth. Oh yeah, grip in the snow is quite good too.
I run Nexen N'Fera SU1 tires on my GTI in the summer: https://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/high-performance/n-fera-su1 Best budget tires I've ever tried. They are wearing nicely, grip in dry and wet is great. I was VERY surprised about the wet weather performance. I'd buy them again and again, no questions asked.
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).
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)
I highly recommend General Altimax Arctic.
I ordered some General Grabber Arctic XL. They are studdable tires, so may not fit your needs. Mainly got them because I used to run General Altimax Arctic on my sportwagon and they've been great. If they perform similar to the Altimax they are pretty good on the pavement, and great in all bad weather conditions and last a long time.
The N3000 is ok. Had them on my A4 Avant when I bought it. Dry grip is pretty good, and they do ok in the wet, too. Definitely lacking in grip compared to something like PS2s but not bad. Sidewall is moderately soft and they wear quicker than expected.
Those tires are Nexen N7000's. A few of my cheap clients ran those and N3000's on their cars, years ago, I'd say late 2000 early 2010's. Cracked sidewalls, deformed tires, bubbles in the sidewall, and ridiculous amounts of road noise after a season of use, poor grip in pretty much anything except hot dry asphalt. I hope you have better luck with them than some of my clients.
