2011 x5 50i msport-winter tire setup?
A wee bit early to ask this question to all other msport owners but thought id give it a shot. I just traded in my m3 for this truck, has some great 215's on them, that obviously won't work up here come winter time. What is a good setup that will push the winter wheels somewhat out to the edge of the arches?
Thanks in advance!

I've run 275/40/20 Michelin Latitude Alpins on our factory M sport wheels during the past two winters as was recommended by Gary at Tire Rack and they've performed flawlessly. Never any troubles at all even in 6+ inches of snow. They do stretch a bit in the rear due to the wider wheel but they work great.

I run a set of Style 223M 19" wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Snow & Ice rubber. These are the standard wheels that came with the 2009 X5 M Sport Package. My summer wheels are Style 227M 20" wheels.

I agree. I had 18" Style 210's with all-season tires as my first Winter set up. The rear tires looked terrible without spacers, which is why I bought the Style 223M 19" set for Winter.

I just installed 210s and it looks horrible. Had to bring this thread back from the dead. The x5 feels like it is on rails ....... |

Yeah, the 210s just don't look right with the M Sport Package.
