They are a wee bit pricey, mainly because you have to stick to runflats (if you have ordered this option with the car) Non-runflats are £50 cheaper.

To make life easier I would also suggest you get them on separate rims. Steel rims are fine if you want to do some offroading in winter which would right off a set of alloys. Snow chains are not good for alloys!

There are some others available as well, eg

Goodyear Eagle Ultragrip @£146
Bridgestone Blizzak @£170
Dunlop SP Wintersport @£150

Hope this helps
Thanks for the info. I might see how I go on this year and decide from then on (mine are 18's so I expect dearer).

Why do you need to stick with run flats by the way? I've got non RFT's on my 1er coupe - swapped over from RFT's in March this year.
