Driving to the Austrian Alps from Bavaria this weekend, I have Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 ZP Run Flats on 17 in wheels on my 335i. Little bit of snow and slush on the ground in the Black Forest this weekend was no problem, even on the tight windy roads. I'll post additions from the Austria trip. I plan on making it w/o chains. Been in the 20s for the last week, colder in the mountains.

Also, last year in my e36 with Continental winter tires, I drove to the mountains south of Garmisch with no issues, even with heavy snow and an inch or two on the ground. driven conservatively, I had no wheel spin, even on hard packed snow in parking lots, etc. I concur that it is all about the tires.
