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 picked up a set of Core Racing winter wheels that look good (I don't like the look of plain steel wheels), and put Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi tires on them. I just replaced them two weeks ago with a brand new set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 tires. Best winter tires available, if you ask me.
BUT the General RT43s are cheaper, long life, and offer better performance.
because I had Hakka 8s un-studded on my previous GTI and they were great.
Blizzaks and X-Ice are great tires but rather expensive, there are some great cheaper alternatives (General Tire Altimax Arctic)
The wr g3 has great grip in the snow and ice
The R2's are really good because they stay quieter than some of the other Nokians.
Go for a Nokian Hakka R2. Any other winter tire just isn\u2019t a Nokian...
I highly recommend General Altimax Arctic.
I like Kal-Tire because they offer Nokian tires. I switched about four years ago and will not use anything else in the winter or for my all seasons.
