Winter Tire Recommendations - Official BMW Recommendations

[X5SND]

I've used the Blizzak DM-z3 (which is the predecessor to the DM-v1 posted above), with nothing but good things to say about them. They can get a bit noisy on dry surfaces but the traction on snow/ice is outstanding. I've heard good things about the Dm-v1, and thus will be switching to that once my current Blizzaks are toast.

I bought now tires for my m3 originally and my rear fit front didn't but I wanted to know if 245/45/19 square setup is okay on my car it's a 05 4.4i non sport

Anyone confirm if style 69 wheels can clear 4.6is brakes?

In this area just run All season tire as our daily temps are over 40F.
Problem is Michelin has discontinued more options for our monster meats.

If the 8"x18" Style 99 wheel can be offered & mounted on the 4.6is as an 18" alternative...I don't see why the 8.5"x18" Style 69 wheel could not fit as well.

If anyone knows beyond doubt...speak now or forever hold your peace.

Style 99: BMW light alloy wheel, spider spoke 99 | BMW X5 E53 X5 4.6is M62 USA




Style 69:. BMW LA wheel, star spoke 69 | BMW X5 E53 X5 4.4i M62 USA

Yea I dont see why not either, just want someone to confirm. I found a nice set of Style 69 with Nokian winter tires. I could use them for winter daily use along with heading to PA mountains at the end of the month for skiing.
