For me its easier/more convenient to get The complete
Set vs just Rubber. Ah, Should mention i am in switzerland so
Going to/through Ski resort Type areas is frequent. I Mostly Had conti
Tires in The past an They Worked Fine on RWD 530d,535d in The
Snow/sleet/etc. Including starting from standstill on an incline with
Fresh Snow(and 535d has more torques than you can shake a stick at). Guess what i am saying is: no worry, The Tier 1 Brands
Would be ok for me. If Michelin is Best deal for you over there, will work as well.
Had Snow chains in my 5 series, but Never needed them
I will know facts in 2 months when there's proper Snow
Cheers
