I have exactly the same set-up on my coupe as, M3 996. 19" stock wheels with:
Front: 255/35R-19 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 XL
Back: 265/35R-19 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25
This winter has been really bad in WI & I normally wouldn't take her out & really bad days, but with the holidays I had no-choice.
Easily drove in 2" to 4" of snow whether it was wet or dry & never once had an issue. Including up hill driving & never once got stuck or slid.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't flying around & I took it easy going up hills and starting off in deep snow, but I could easily get to A to B & never once had an issue or was concerned.
I had Blizzak's on my old IS350, which was also RWD on 18" and never had a problem either.
Great, great snow tires & I would highly recommend them. I am getting new rims in the summer as well, so these will be my winter tires.
I did not buy this car to have it sit the garage 5 months out of the year....
M3 996 Question: This just started happening yesterday does your front tires rub at all ? I heard some noises yesterday & I thought it was rubbing only on tight turns, but I've had these tires on for over a month & this is the first time, I heard anything like that.
Thoughts?
