Winter tires and rims

Just bought a 2018 i3S and am looking forward to winter driving. Anyone know of plans for winter tires?

TireRack.com and Blizzak's are a good place to start:

Here is another article on winter tire options for i3's:

I don't know where and how you plan to drive your i3 in the winter, but for less than one foot of snow in NY/NJ area, I have successfully navigated on fresh all-season OEM Bridgestone tires. For ice and deeper snow, I have another car with proper winter (Blizzak) tires.

Are you planning on keeping the 20" rims? Tire options are limited to say the least!

Think I will se what BMW proposes for a winter set.
I have both a summer and winter set of rims and tires for my X3 and seems to be the best of both worlds.
