I say this so often that even I am tired of hearing myself say it.

X5's on 19's or above (even 18's without winter tires), in the snow, regardless of tires, are unstable. I'm sure a lot of you will say that your x with 19's is fine, but there are too many of these stories to not take the risk seriously. After I slid down a hill and almost clipped a school bus I was convinced... I hope other realize it too, it would be a shame for something to happen and someone get hurt.

Good luck with your repairs.... sorry about the accident.
