Anyone know if these winter tires are any good??? I got a price of $250.00 a tire brand new installed. Please let me know your thoughts as snow time is here and I'm feeling like I'm gonna have to pull the trigger and throw some on in the next few days.

Thanks.

You should go to Tire Rack. They have Dunlop Graspic DS-2 snow tires 245/40 18s for $115 each

Are they runflats? As I currently have runflats on the car now. Checking TireRack now only problem is I'm located in Toronto Canada. Any other ideas? I need to move fast.

does your new tire also have the nails? i need tires with nails. i found last year the winter tires from michelin 225 wide i placed them under my e36 M3 and i was very happy about there grip and handling(considering the power u can put on the road). only one but about this tire was that when i went on a holiday through germany i found the car breaking away. at 150 km/hr. later i found out that the metal enforced side of the tire was gone and i was only driving on a small piece of rubber which could have exploded very quickly. i never had this tire guarantee replaced they said i hit a curb or something. This year im putting goodyear ultra grip 205wide 16 inch :-( under my 5er i think they are not runflats i cant find it on the tire. the dealer gave me this one when i bought the car. it is not yet snowing here(sweden) so cant tell you my experience about them yet. im wondering how it looks like 16 inch under my car must be boring. maybe ill just wait until it really starts snowing.
anyway goodluck the coming winter hope you have found a save quality tire.

Unfortunately, they don't carry the appropriate size tires for the rear wheels, assuming you have a 535i w/sport.
