Now, im just going locally and to mammoth. Should i... 1. get a new set of snow tires for the 19"s? 2. get a whole different 18" set w/ snows? 3. chains? 4. Or will the michi diamaris be adequate for now. Thanks.

You will need to carry chains if the snow really gets deep. I like Z-Chains.
Next time you need tires check out the Pirelli Zero Asimmetrico's. I've got them on my sport 19" wheels and am happy with their year around and snow performance.

My 2001 X5 I bought from the 2nd owner who used it to go skiing - He sold it rather than buying a separate snow tire setup - the Diamaris have virtually no grip in snow because the grooves fill up too quickly with snow and become "racing slicks" - the wider tire also has the car floating on the snow, not digging in as a narrower snow tire would - basically it becomes a 4 wheel toboggan - your 4.4 can take a 17" wheel, but if you want to later opt for aftermarket (bigger) brakes, you will need 18" wheels for clearance - and I'd still get the chains also

Winter Setup
This is what I got for the 20's
http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...-biathlon.html We have a very limited season in Oz and this was a better alternative to a 2nd set Can get a second set for the back if required Schanck

Yeah definately dont go with 18"s if you are getting a complete new set up. Go 17's. Narrower tire = better for snow.
