255s are still pretty wide for a winter tire......then again I guess you have a sport packaged 4.4i version.

Haha I've unfortunately been trying to keep myself from wearing out the knobbier treads on the winter tires and thus, haven't been able to have "fun" cornering in the X3. I must say though, the Pirelli Snowsports I have do drive very well on dry weather for a snow tire; they feel about the same and we have no problems scooting along at 85+ mph back from NY last weekend.
