I didn't realize your MSport comes with 19s. Why is BMW giving options? 20s all the way, especially on an X5 MSport.

I searched on tire rack, only Kumho and Hankook have all-season tires for your size. OE uses CrossContact UHP SSR and Dueler H/P Sport RFT, but they're summer tires. I haven't heard anything bad on Hankook for winter use.

Beware on not using the same recommended tire size, BMW sized it appropriately on the staggered setup so all tires have the same rotation. Playing with different size will screw up your AWD system.
