Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 - your experience?

[4MoJoe]

Anyone else have these on their X5? I had mine put on last Friday. I expected them to be a bit noisier but the sound is quite offputting. When I accelerate you can hear them but I swear I almost am hearing something from the transmission/drive train. When you get on the gas from 10 to 30 mph it's very loud. If I let off the gas is stops and I hear the humming of the tires.

Can't understand why a tire change would cause this much noise. I had the 18" ones mounted on my stock rims.

Looking for experience from anyone else with these tires.

Thanks

Hey, I've had a set of Blizzak LM-25'w on my '04 M3 and they were great. A bit louder but nothing's better in the winter.
I've actually got them for sale but am wondering if I can't use them on my OEM 18" wheels. I'm pretty sure the tire size is wrong though.

How are your Blizzaks working out now on your X?

I've taken them off (seasonal) but they did quite well for trips to the ski hill. They were a bit more noisy but overall I'm pleased. I've gotta get a set of 18" rims tho so I don't have to go through having them mounted and dismounted. Man the tire store sure jacked up my rims in that process!
