Question Winter tire help
All,

I need advice regarding winter tires for my incoming 2014 E63. Tirerack offers:

Pilot Alpin PA4 @ $336 each



Winter Sottozero Serie II @ $279 each



In sizes that will fit a 19x8.5" wheel. Any thoughts or experiences? I have The Michelin Aplin SUV winter tire on my X5 and have had no issues. The Pirelli is MB recommended tire if I am not mistaken.


Thanks,
X

depends on the weather
That Pirelli Sotto Zero Serie 2 tromped the Pilot Alpin PA3 ... the PA4 returned the favor and would be my pick ... all of the ADEC euro tests had the PA4 at the top of the heap
