My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
1st layer on the ground was solid sheet of ice from freezing rain. Next layer was 1.5 to 2.0 inches of sleet (tiny ice pellets). No problem with Blizzak LM on E90 Sport auto, or Blizzak WS on E60 Sport 6MT. I mention Sport due to the lowered suspension and less ground clearance when the tires sink into the snow / sleet, also creating more under-carriage friction when trying to move. A little DTC activity, but both RWD vehicles go where and when I want to go, even up an inclined sidestreet or or my unplowed driveway. Other winter tires may be comparable or even better. My experience with Blizzaks have been postive thus far.
Of course, laws of physics and traction still apply. Drive like there is an egg on your throttle pedal
Ground is covered in ice and sleet. Snow to come later in the day.

Great, that's the shit heading this way later tonight. We got the light snow/sleet mix last night, and the rain/ice is on the way.

Listen buddy, sounds like youre the one without the SKILLS! Before you open your mouth, understand that there are people far more qualified to drive in the snow than you. I suggest you shut up and keep driving on those all-seasons.

I'm dying to change my tires now. I have bridgestone serenity all season and they suck. They slide on snow like regular tires. My last conti sports were better. Thanks for the help. I'll buy my blazzaks soon.
