Do any of you run winter wheels and tyres setup?

Do any of you run winter wheels and tyres setup?

If so what, any pics?
Any recommendations on tyres?
With the added weight of these cars will these increase wear?

Lots!  There's a whole 'sticky' thread on them here.

Yep, only way to survive winter driving as the standard tyres are uh, rather not grippy.

Thanks
Will look at sticky above

I'm running 18s from an 2009 E70 and Nokian WR SUV 3 RunFlat 255/55 R18 109V XL this winter.  I'll post after I have some experience and share how they work.

I run RFTs in winter as the thought of plugging and pumping up a tire in these harsh Alsatian winters chills my spirits. In the summer I run 19s and non-RTFs.

Are rft just as bad on winters too, would most go non rft?

RFT on mine as that is what BMW supply and my insurers insisted on, as did BMW for warranty purposes.
