I assumed with the awd that the x5 would be a great winter vehicle. Anyways, driving to work. I would stop in traffic and be parked there for a few seconds. And then my X's nose would start to slide towards other cars. I would end up being on a skewed angle in the middle of my lane looking like a dickhead who couldn't drive in snow. I have lots of winter driving experience and have never had a winter accident. Anyways, is it my tires that are crap and causing this or what the heck. the tires are all in great shape and are all seasons. Just curious if the X isnt' as good in winter driving as i had hoped...?!
get rid of the all seasons on these vehicle if you will be driving in snow, I did and put winters on what a big difference in traction. these vehicles are heavy and you need good winter tires .
