Hi Everyone,
I have had a few questions on what winter tyres are generally available in the UK for the X1. My research a while back, a quick trawl on the web and had a chat with the tyre dealer I normally use leads me to the short list below. Interestingly the dealer mentioned that sales of cold weather tyres here in Scotland has gone through the roof (wonder why
) and that he is struggling to keep up with demand. Anyway here is my list for 17" rims, hope it helps.
All sizes are 225/50/17
Nokian WR G2 Run Flat
Yokohama W.drive
Hankook Icebear W300
Nankang SV-1 Winter Plus
Dunlop SP WINTER SPORT 3D (I have these)
Pirelli W 210 Sottozero S2 Run Flat (My first choice but went for the BMW supplied Dunlops)
Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 (for some reason very, very expensive, £300 each)
I am sure there are others but these are the ones I found easily.
