I think I just solved my winter tire/wheel/heavy Runflat problem

Continental ExtremeContact DWS M&autoModClar=Built Before 10/10

it a non runflat so it is lighter
it is all season so it should be fine in the snow
and it is a performance oriented tire so dry weather, while not as good as a all out summer tire, it still will be good enough

Now no need for another set of wheels/tires sitting around all year!
what do you think?

I am thinking about switching to these as well. Couple of problems though
1- They are back ordered
2-The snow capabilities are questionable

They ranked an 8 something for snow. read some of the reviews. Considering the reduced ground clearance on the x5 m, I am not expecting snow cat abilitys. But an 8 ranking is pretty decent and should not get the truck stuck in most snow conditions

Take that rating with a grain of salt. Let me know if you find these anywhere, they are still the best out there
