I prefer having the winter driving confidence from a tire setup that performs like a RAM Dall sheep.

With my 2011 X6M delivery last month, I began searching for "ANY" winter wheel that would clear those huge frt hubs & brakes. This search was narrowed very quickly with the "only available" and fortunately not so bad looking option which I ended up purchasing. For what it's worth, this is the "ONLY" approved BMW X6 ///M winter wheel solution I could find with my winter season now here:

V-Spoke 298M (9Jx19EH2+, with 255/50R19 -107V Goodyear Ultra Grip RFT's).

Looks like the BMW CA dealers have this winter wheel setup with Conti 4X4 WinterContact SSR (RSC).

Last winter, I ran the 255/50R19 Bridgestone Blizzaks frt & rear on my 2008 X6 50i, and it performed like mountain goats when ever I needed.

Winter tire need to be narrow!!the wider it is,the lower the preassure on the ground(snow).
