Better Rain Than Snow! Deep Sea Blue + Anthracite Rial Salernos + Blizzaks

It's close to 60º in NYC on December 6th, but the winters are on for the mix later this week.

Last of the E90's w/brand new 17" Rial Salerno's in Anthracite + Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25's:

Temperature jumps a lot here. I am waiting for constant 30s. My summers are almost bold anyway.

I always debate getting snow tires.. 335xi on SI.
After driving down 3rd ave after the shit-show that was the Christmas blizzard, and rescuing my friend and his family in their stuck explorer on 3rd/87th in Bay ridge on my OEM run flats I figured it was a waste of money..

I even got some Spanish girls # who was trekking down the avenue in the snow/ Got her in the car, gave her a ride home...She was a stripper from Florida "fighting with her BF" and just moved to BK.
My friends family has never seen me smile so much.

Looks nice man, I like those wheels too ... clean.

I just had my Blizzaks installed yesterday! Seems like a lot of us are on the same page.

She's slippery when wet... My snows are in the garage. Hell, I washed my car this weekend. Hope this weather keeps through Christmas.

LM 60's went on the Touring last week, just in time for 4" Sunday into Monday and -15 for the low. Car handles like a champ on the Blizzaks.

I'm in the most miserable city in the US, Cleveland. I had my tire shop put those new Nokian aggressive all-seasons on that are dominating the reviews and tests.

How do Blizzaks do with 2wd vehicles? Do you need to put on Blizzaks on all 4 tires to be effective in the snow and ice or will just 2 Blizzaks do on the drive wheels?

All seasons are passable in the city; winters are the bomb and a must if you have hills/twistys.

I've had my LM-60s on for a little over a week now, although the weatherguys around here keep saying it'll snow any day but it never does

All four wheels because if you only put it on the back you won't have adequate steering. Plus you will brake longer if its on the backs only
