best winter tires for 19" 467M wheels

a bit early but what are the best winter tires for stock oem 19" 467M wheels - 255/50R19

How are the BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK DM-V2? price is 169 on tire rack, seems pretty good and highly rated.

thoughts?

a couple of years ago I switched the snow tires on all our vehicles to Hakkapallitas
Hakkapeliitta R2 - The finest non-studded winter tyre

Nokian Hakka Testing Labs and Tracks in Finland
However, the DM-V2 looks like an awesome contender ... I'd buy them or the R2s

have fun!

I have the DM-V2s in 18" on a dedicated set of wheels. They work very well in the snow, but aren't that great in the dry, as expected for a winter tire. I swap in/out as the snow comes and goes, so it's not an issue for me.
If price is not a concern, Hakkas are hands-down the best winter tires out there. All depends if you swap out for the season and want decent dry weather feel or not.

I have the Pirelli Scorpion winter run flats on 467m wheels. they've been great, good snow and ice traction, fairly low noise. They handle well, but not as good as the summer 20"s on the 469m wheels

I use all seasons as winter tires. Around here winter is mostly just cold with occasional snow on the roads. X5 does fine like this in the snow as well.

I've run Hakka R2 rubber on my 19" winter shoes on my last two F15 X5's over the past 3 years -- I will never buy a different winter set-up the rest of my BMW life. Awesome driving over passes at 45mph in multiple feet of snow while ROW navigates along at 10mph.

I just run scorpion verde all season runflats as my winter setup. 19/255's. Most of the time the streets are dry here in winter, but too cold for summer tires. They get along fine in the snow and will last longer.
