I think the OE dunlops look the most aggressive . . . I would love to see real life shots of the continentals and toyos on 20" sport package. If anyone has these setups please posts pics on the car.

Continental

Extreme DWS seems to have an aggressive look and are rated highest for this particular suv on tire rack. 18" OEM may run you 800 or so installed.

The Dunlops on 214s look really aggressive. If you venture into snow, however, then the Continental Extreme DWS are a good all season tire and do fine in winter. The Dunlops, while spectacular in the dry months, are roller skates in the winter.

seriously, I've never uderstood why anyone cared much about the actual TIRE - the only things that wear down the most rapidly. I dont' get it.

Because the tires are the only thing that are attaching that vehicle to the road. Not to mention they also protect the high dollar wheels we're rolling on.

Im guessing he means Wheels. Not sure why you would want an "aggressive" looking tire.

And to answer your question, OEM BMW style 214 in 20"

Just got a set for my wife and they look killer.

Just because they are old doesn't mean they aren't still nice. Plus they are offered on today's new models so until they are disco'd they are relevant IMO.
