Ken,
As all posters above said, real snow tires are the answer to your needs...
You have basically 2 choices: find snow tires in your oem tire size, (may
be hard to find and/or very pricey, esp the rear size), or buckle down and
keep an eye out here for a full wheel/tire set.
-most here go with a 2nd wheel/tire set as it allows for smaller/narrower
wheel and tire size
-2nd set is a half hour change over in your garage or, at a tire joint
-2nd set precludes some tire knucklehead banging on your oem wheels
twice a year, changing out tires
-you can run that winter set for 3-4 years, mileage and tire wear-wise.
Time is on your side: wheel sets come up here frequently...
Imo, while 17s look less "cool", an oem or replica 17 wheel with dedicated snows,
makes for an XDrive X that is almost unstoppable, though many here do go with 18"
wheel/snow tire sets, with great success.
