If you do that, you'll really notice a significant difference in handling. Let us know what you decide!

I was actually looking at those 19 inches M5 style wheels on eBay earlier.. look pretty cool... but dont know how good the quality of those M5/M6 wheel replicas are and if they would fit on X5..they are just attractive...

btw.. anyone know where I can get the 20 inches Y-spoke(style 214) wheels that came as an upgrade of the sportpackage on the new 2007 X5s? I had been dreaming about those wheels the first time I seen them...lol

My Toyo Proxes were not loud but that does seem to be a common complaint. Maybe I drive with the stereo really loud!!!! (I listened to the truck drive without the stereo on and swear they were not loud!!!)

You are right, there seems to be no Michelins in your size. Here is a danish tire guide: http://www.daekonline.dk/sommerdaek.html

Well - a set of new rims would make it possible to get the Diamaris.

Good luck with the project.

Im gonna drop my car to the dealer for annual check tomorrow and ask them about the tire to see if they have it and the price, then decide if I would go with Sam's club or Momentum
but Im gonna order the tire either from Momentum or Sam's club tomorrow since the two tires I have in the front are wearing out so bad and there are almost no thread left on one of them...lol

Hey be careful getting your tires mounted at Sam's. Make sure that they have the right equipment for mounting tires on big alloy wheels, and make d*** sure that they have somebody that knows how to use it. Sam's club bought me a brand new 17" M3 wheel a few years ago when they scratched one up trying to mount a 45 series tire on it.

And tell them not to use an impact wrench on your wheels, they'll scratch the hell out of the lug nut bore!!!

that is some good advice...
