Hi all, I managed to find this forum via google and just looking for some advice. I've only owned my 2013 BMW 520D for about 6 months and although I have been driving for some years this is my first RWD car as I've come from owning Ford's & VW's mainly. Although now approaching the Winter months I've noticed the tyres slipping a bit and recently coming out of a muddy firework display car park the other week the car felt like it didn't want to drive at all. I'm currently on Bridgestone Turanza ER300 245/45R18 Run flats which are coming towards the end of their lives on the rear end and just wondered what you would advise to change them with? I was tempted to get a complete set of alloys fitted with winter tyres but I honestly don't think the weather in the UK ever really get THAT bad to warrant forking out on them. Any advice or even driving the 5 series in wet, ice conditions would be much appreciated. Cheers, John.
