What do you think have the best traction in a 16" BMW wheel package:
(from a 128i Convertible Base Model)

I am going to put these on a 128i coupe base model

I live 12 miles north of NYC but at the bottom of a pretty steep 0.7 mile hill.

Also, how bad is the handling on a Studless Ice and Snow vs. a Performance Winter Tire. I don't drive that aggressively but I want very confident ice and snow traction and I never want to get stuck/


Blizzak WS-60

Blizzak LM-25

Blizzak LM-22 RFT (Can I use these?)

Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D

Dunlop Winter Sport M3 ROF (is this just as good as the 3D?)

Dunlop Graspic DS-2

Michelin X-Ice Xi2 (NEW)

There is a noticeable difference in handling between the performance winters and the studless tires but it doesn't sound like it will bother you based on your wish list here. The WS-60 would easily be your best pick here. I am going to use the same tire.

You certainly can use the runflat snows but I still think the WS-60 is what you will like best.
