Most really snowy days he drives his Volvo.

Blizzaks —!!! After driving on them this week must say that they are a beginner winter tires. If you have never had winters before you would be impressed but overall they just do t compete with my Yokis. They came brand new on my Acura so I didn't have to pay for them. But if I was spending my own mmoney I definitely wouldn't get Blizzaks.

While he maybe should have waited for the X-Drive 5 because they have far better resale, winter driving shouldn't be a lead issue. I've winter driven several M cars (high HP) and have a current F10... I didn't miss a beat this week with my winters on.
