I also live in the Buffalo area, and drive an '06 X5 4.4. I went with the stock 18's and Pirelli Scorp Ice and Snows. They are fantastic! The ABS comes on long before the tires begin to slide, and I couldn't be happier. I'm at a loss to understand all the stuff about narrow tires in the snow, etc. Maybe if you go up into the 20's youv'e got an argument, but 18's are fine. If you've got good snow tires, and know how to drive on them, there should be no problem. My 18's are terriffic.
