Blizzak LM-22 (255/55 18) has a 109H XL rating. Its Max Load is 2271 lbs.

Dunlop Grandtek WT M2 (255/55 18) has a 105H SL rating. Its Max Load is 2039 lbs.

Week to 10 days. I got 2 boxes each with 2 wheels individually boxed inside the big box.

I asked my dealer a similar question and they told me not to mix car and SAV wheels due to the fact the wheels for the X5 and X3 are engineered to be stronger.

Whether or not it was a line, I don't know, but that's what they told me.

Question? noticed the NYC location - Do you plan on traveling to the mountains to ski? If so, are the roads steep (5 deg+ grades) where they have posted chain up areas? If you ever think of using chains, BMW recommends 17" rims for clearance

What about All Terrain/off road tires? HAs anyone ever fitted good of road tires to the X5?

I'm not speaking about mudders or anything aggro, but something like Wrangler AT, or Michelin AT? Curious. I'm not liking the tires that are on my Stock rims.
