My 535i w/5spd & limited slip has been excellent in the snow with 4 Blizzaks. Best rear drive winter car & just as good as most of the fwd cars I've owned.

Even today, car makers are increasingly omitting them. I guess they figure most people won't know or care, so why shell out for it? Sad.

My M30 with LSD and blizzaks is pretty sweet! Before I picked up the tires, after first snowfall, I was horrified about what was to come for winter. I thought I had the shittiest possible snow vehicle. Once I got the tires it's a blast to drive. I hate getting my paint all shitty, but you can easily do controlled drifts and make it almost anywhere!

the horror, the horrorMy "ne plus ultra" show tire setup: Nokian Hakkapelitta RSi 235/45R17 on OE M-Tech wheels sans center covers. Great snow and ice trax + smooth and quiet on the dry. Cost C$1200 though...

No shame in that. Reality is: one car, one income, winter roads and a car that really isn't all that special. Now, if I had an Aston Martin DB9...

How do i tell if my car has an lsd? Both tires spin, rather than just one if that means anything.

Actually LSD has been replaced by traction control. So there is an element of sadness in that computers are driving cars - not people.Sadly, no

Ditto here.. same ones on my basketweaves... love 'em.. although they are a bit squirelly in the dry compared to non snow tires.. all those sipes give a lot of flexibility to the tread blocks.. but that's what gives it such great traction in the snow/ice.I have those same tires in 205/60/15 on the stock basketweaves. They're great.
Can't wait to get my 17s back on, though
I can't wait to get my new 18s.
