Alrighty, can the folks who've already driven their 1's in the winter with their snow tire setups post their tire make/model, tire sizes and advise if they had any issues with rubbing or ride quality/traction? The help would be super appreciated guys.

I can't decide if I want to go 16's or 17's. My understanding is that the general principal is narrower tires tend to cut through the snow easier than wider tires so 16's would be preferably but not if the tires are going to rub every time you lock the wheel or hit a bump.

I'm thinking 16" Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60 non-RFTs that Kvnjmpl mentioned.
Lots of guys in the US are running those on their 135i's in this forum and it's gotten good reviews so far. The only thing I recall is that a few years ago some reviewers were saying Blizzak's don't wear very well.
