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.

I have an 06 Expedition and an 01 4.4 X5. Took off the 19in Performance tires and put on 17in dedicated snows. Michelin Pilot Alpins. We live in Buffalo off an alley that gets plowed once a year if we are lucky. It is solid ice underneath foot deep ruts.
My X is my daily driver and will pound through anything. I only drive the Expedition if there is more than 5 of us riding.
As everyone else said it's all in the tires.
