You're moving down to tiny tires, of course it won't handle well in the dry. In the snow it handles great. Remember, the truck has a much better power/weight ratio than the other vehicles you have driven in the snow, so of course it's going to spin the tires and be more tail-happy.

very true, plus the AT trans is tuned rather aggressively in the 4.6is. I was comparing most recently to a similar power to weight performance car - the V8 Audi S4 - actually same HP but 600lbs or so less weight. Quattro and manual trans. Similar sized tires - 235/40/18 on the Audi and 255-50-19 on the X5. Both performance snows from Pirelli. And the Audi is far more planted due to the quattro system. But the X5 is perfectly adequate and better than most in the snow.
