Without question - HAKKAPELIITTA Rsi Winters are outstanding.
Having tried many of the other brands (on my 3rd BMW) these tires have
outperformed all previous makes. Incredible grip in all conditions, quiet -
yes - quiet and ok at highway speeds and on on-ramps.

I put 215's on my 2002 540 and have had no issues.

My experiece living here in north Subury Ontario canada on a undeveloped
rural road no snow plows and steep 45 degre hill for a drive way is the
michilin artic alpines for ice and snow.

I doubt you have a 45 degree drive. That's twice as steep as most ski
slopes,
and almost as steep a slope that snow will stick to. Perhaps you mean 45
percent?

your right I exagerated on the 45 degree slow just to make a point , the tire
great!

Let's be sensible here. The best winter tires are the ones on the commercial
airliner that takes you to Florida.

End of discussion.
