Going to Tahoe for the Snow for the first time

[dougpham]

I have 06 X5 4.4 19"sport package with Mich. Damaris tires. 2yrs ago, Oh man, I was drinving my X5 around 35/40 Mph to Sierra Tahoe ski resort on Hwy50, snowy condition, my truck could not handle it. The car spun around when I made a turn. Fortunately, I was able to gain control after it hit the snow bank on the side, some damages on right fender and headlight. It costs me $5K to fix. After that event, I don't drive my X5 to sierra tahoe Hwy 50 during snow condition. Now I have changed my Damaris tires to Michelin Latitude 4 seasons tires M/S, it's awesome. I can drive my truck on the snow without any problem.

A word of careful when you drive your X5 summer tires to tahoe, icey road and snow condition.
