Winter tire recommendations 2016 428xi GC

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend good winter tires for my 2016 428xi Gran Coupe? I live in New York, and the weather has me a bit concerned as we're expecting some serious snow and low temps this season. I have some nice all seasons, but want dedicated winter tires.

I currently have the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+

225/45ZR-18
255/40ZR-18

I spoke to someone from Tire Rack and the he mentioned my only options were some run flat Pirellis (which I don't want), BLIZZAK LM001, or yokohama bluearth winter v905.

Any other thoughts/recommendations?

Thank you in advance for your help!

If you want more of a selection of winter/snow tires, run 235/45/18 (one size) on your staggered wheels(front and rear)

The run flat sotozerros are actually not that bad. I'm on my 3rd set now.

Garage List
Or forget about run flats all together & get a 18" square set of Blizzaks or Michelin Ice
