Great budget tires, 16 year old RWD BMW had absolutely no problems in snow, icy conditions nor wet roads. Already did around 10.000km, as a budget option I highly recommend them.

Been faced with BMW RWD, I had to seek for the best "Nokian Hakepalita" but no sale on our market, instead recommended Gislaved as substitution of Swedish experience and Continental owned manufacture.
Previously had Conti TS850,Dunlope 3D, Pirelli ect as premium spending of 300 euro per piece, but having this Gislaved on budget of 130euro is best investment they are top of the range with performance, definitely will recommend it and already test it in snow.
Go for it wherever you can find it.
