Winter Tires

Hey all - finally got around to taking some pictures of our winter shoes. They've been on for a few weeks now, but as always getting around to snapping some pics took awhile

Our biggest need was to have true snow tires as we have several trips this winter where snow removal is marginal at best, and no salting is allowed. So what we ended up getting are Vredestein Wintrac Extreme on 19x8.5 Beyern Multi. Its one of the combos our dealer (Motorwerks) is pushing. Installed with TPMS and tax it came to ~$3600.

As you can see in the pictures they have already seen good use and they really have been very good in the snow. Handlingwise on dry roads there is a bit of a jelly effect when turning, but nothing too bad.

On a side note - it is possible to fit the stock 20's in the back of the X6 with the seats down.

Anyways - here is some pics - that last one is a bonus, because it was part of the same picture series
