Steve,
Thanks for the help, but my 328is came with the Sport Package which includes 225/50/16 tires. I don't like to comprimise all my handling come wintertime, so I think I'm going to go with a performance snow tire (oxymoron?). Probably something in the Pirelli line, either the Winter 210P or the Winter 210 Asimmetrico. I've had Blizzaks, Eagle M&S, and the 210Ps in this size before (not on this car), and the Pirellis were the only ones which provided any performance characteristics, albeit minimal. I was also looking at the Dunlop Graspic HS-2, but at $79 per, something must be amiss.
Thanks again, and good luck in your pursuit,
Ian
