I`ve spent the last week unsuccessfully trying to find a set of Run Flats for my BMW. I initially looked for Run Flats because we don`t have room for a spare and it never came with one. Every place in Calgary seems to be sold out, and I then find out run flats are overrated for city driving anyway, so I shifted my sights to Winter tires.

I have a RWD BMW 3 series and don`t know if I should get studded tires like the Himalayan Federals I was quoted $760, all in with installation and balancing on my existing rims or if I should just get a set of really good winter tires.

Normally wouldn't care and was one of those who drove all seasons year round but have 2 young kids now and figure it's time to act grown up for a second and get good tires.

Any advice? Looking for 205/55 R16 if that makes a difference at all.
