Which ones and how do you like them?
I haven't driven them properly on snow yet. That sig pic was me driving onto the snow to get a pic and then I drove right back off it ;-)

Dunlop Wintersport 3D 17" if I recall correctly (that maybe what I had on my previous car). I'll have a look when I go outside tomorrow. Too cold right now

Forgetting about snow performance for a second, how do you like the runflat part? In other words, are they stiff/harsh or a bit more forgiving than the summer runflats?
My problem is that I can't judge the harshness fairly. I switched from an Audi with OEM sports suspension and no RFTs, to this BMW with non-sport suspension and RFTs and I find this to be a much nicer ride than the Audi.
