opinion on Gislaved NordFrost3 for winter?

A friend has offered me his barely used winter tires, they are NordFrost3 205/55/R16 91Q ...

... what are your thoughts on the size of the tire, will they even fit on my 128i coupe? ... and what about the "91Q" --- is that alright?

... do you think the NordFrost3's compare to the other winter tires that have been suggested in the forum? do you think they are good winter tires?

Thanks for your help!!

That size fits fine and the speed rating is OK too. Good on both accounts.

I've not tested the tire as we don't carry it so I can't help you there.

Check out the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R 205/55/R16 RunFlat

Hey, if you have BMW 16" wheels, why don't you consider the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R Runflats? They are 205/55/R16 for $234 each at www.tiresbyweb.com

http://www.tiresbyweb.com/p-7333-nok...eliitta-r.aspx

I got them and I will post pictures tomorrow with my 128i coupe.
