First winter with my 135i as well.

I got Nokian Hakka 5 (basically the best winter tires around).

I got them studless, but I guess if you want the most traction, studded is the way to go. I would have got studded, but most indoor parking downtown Montreal doesn't allow studded tires.

I'm scared of the dry conditions paired with the studded.... apparently they can be quite slippery when braking on dry roads...
+1 for the parkings ! Can i ask you where and how much did you pay ? what size ? on stock rims ?

thank for the tips !

I scored a used set for cheap on kijiji. 10/32 thread left for $400. I'm running 205 50 17 in the winter.

Otherwise, I always buy my car stuff at VAG Motorsport in Laval. 450-661-0429.
