So what is your suggestion?
Metro-Auto ( a local BMW dealer round here in Turku) offered a package, including Style 138 Star Spoke wheels with Goodyear UG500 run-flat winter stud tyres, for a price of 2140?, incl. installation. (that's about 2,670$, seems a bit pricey?)
Any information on the Goodyears? Are they any good?
Thx for all the info

IMHO why would anyone from Finland buy anything other than Hakkas? I've had them on my 00 528 for 5 winters and they are superb, even on dry pavement. Expect to put a set on my 06 530. I have used Hakkas since they became available in the US and they beat any other snow tire.....in spades.

There's a lot of good discussion on the topic from the past (search under snow tire). I recently bought the 18" set-up with Dunlop Wintersports and Mille Miglia 5-spoke rims from Tirerack.com (about $1600 USD).
