For winter driving in the Canadian snow-belt, I had Nokian Hakkapeliitta runflats on 18 x 8" aftermarket wheels on my F10 that performed exceptionally well. They were oversized at 245/50/18, but worked without any rubbing issues and configured like this my xDrive was unstoppable. When I lowered my car, I had to switch tires and ended up switching wheels too, so now I now have a set of Nokian WR A4 runflats on a different set of 18 x 8.5" wheels. These newer tires are 245/45/18 which is a correct size for the F10. I have not yet tried them in much snow, but expect to soon when I go skiing in the near future. They should be nearly as good as the Hakkapeliittas but are more performance oriented.
