X5 in the snow Results

[paulgt3]

I got to drive my X5 in a mix of snow ice and mixed rain and snow today going from my house to my place in Mammoth today. I was VERY impressed with grip. I felt no slippage anywhere until I back into my parking spot that had about 4-6" of snow and only then very minor. I bought a set of
Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus tires on a spare set of 18" BMW wheels.
I replaced my summer 20" chrome wheels and the Diamaris.
I have had toyotas before for this, Landcruiser and this BMW did as well.
I purposely tried to slide to a stop and no slippage. I wasnt too agressive I had the family in the car but still.
I dont want the truck for bouldering, I am too old for that now. BUT for driving in snowy weather on Hwys and roads that have been cleared and not so cleared. I am very satisfied.
Tomorrow its supposed to snow some more and I will be taking the kids up to the main lodge and the road up there is up hill and will be a bit more challenging so I will post that on this thread.
