May be a foot an a half of snow with Scorpion Pirelli tires.The DSC was on. I am living in quebec city and snow is present every day.This morning we had 12 inches...Mario |
There are five Pirelli Scorpion tire versions, according to Pirelli Canada. Four are rated all-season, and only the Ice and Snow version is a full winter tire. That tire is biased more towards performance than snow traction, again according to Pirelli. We have them on our new X3, and they work well, but the X3 is quite a bit lighter than the E70, and weight is the enemy.
Apart from that, you may want to disengage DSC to permit limited wheelspin (as recommended by BMW), if you are stuck in a drift
Good luck
