We dont get very much snow in Vancouver, would these all seasons with the x5 be good?
Its the most cost effective option $900 for 4 tires.

Vancouver BC? Or Washington?
Winter tires aren't about the depth of the snow. They are about the temperature, and the appropriate rubber compound for that temperature. Summer tires are soft, and will go very hard and slippery, when it is cold. You don't need snow to have problems. AWD helps you go, it doesn't help you steer or stop, and more accidents are caused by not being able to steer and stop, than by not being able to go.
Recommend you get a set of smaller winter wheels, and dedicated winter tires. That is what I did. Your truck deserves them.
