Have to agree. Wife doesn't care for our X5 on snow or icy slick surfaces. So then she gets out the old Expedition and drives happy. Some of it is getting use to the snappier throttle movement and sudden brake reaction of the X5 but alot is the OEM tires. I would have thought with BMW traction control the X would have been more stable, but no, it wags it's tail frequently on the slick.
