Winter tires

[Sandbag]

I would like to get your input on winter snow tires for the X5 M. I am not a fan of run-flat tires, so what tires have do those of you in winter climes use? Do you have problems finding them in the two different sizes. Do you get Blizzaks, X-Ice, or Alpin or something else?

I just finished going through this. It's tough to find a nice wheel in the right size for the x5m. I searched for about a week on all different sites.

I just went with the bmw 298m wheel which seems designed for the x5m front and rear hubs.

Each wheel is 417. Then I went with pirelli scorpions in 255/50 19s and those are 320 a piece.

Let us know if you find alternatives.
