I'm on Continentals 810 TS which is a very hig performance sport tire, non rf. Unless you are planning driving in deep snow this is the best for such power of 535D and fast driving

I did two winters with Continental TS 790 and I am quite satisfied. This year I gonna change them and I will try Dunlop Sport M3. However as far as I know these tires are runflat but it might depend from the size. Do you have any contraindication that runflat are not suitable for winter tires? Please let me know.

I just bought Dunlop M3 SP Winter Sport 245/40/18 tires on eBay (with rims). These are no Runflats, as I believe they don't even exist in that size (yet). I specifically asked the seller, because I want to stay away from RF's.

This is the exact set I am gonna buy in a couple of weeks. I found the complete set a reasonable price at BMW Munich for EUR 1350. I know that the 116 17" rims are not as nice as the 135 18" of the M-pack but for winter time are perfect.
