Any experience with Pirelli SOTTOZERO 3

Starting to browse for dedicated winter tires. Since they are rare in our stock M sport size, figured might buy early then put them on in Nov.

I'm keeping my stock 19" M sport wheels. Came across these on tirerack. Overall good reviews. Price is decent.

My driving is in Detroit suburbs, driving on salted roads. Plus some interstate driving.

I'm actually looking forward to getting the runflats off this car. They are so dang hard it really ruins a great ride developed by bmw on the 704 m sport suspension.

Its like ordering an 18 year macallan with Dr Pepper.

I live in Chicago and have these tires. I like them alot and would buy them again. Very good traction, ride and noise.

Good luck.

I have the 18" RFT versions and they are great - massive step up from the Sottozero 2s I had previously.
Highly recommended.
