snow tires/wheel on

so i guess no one was really intrested in buying my 18 inch dunlop winter sport m2 tire/wheel package...so decided to have them painted black and put on the x for kicks. enjoy.

some updated pics from yesterday storms, i cant praise enough about winter dedicated tires over all-season tires. i was passing by everyone on fresh snow with ease and confidence!



brother in law's mdx.



stuck in the snow? what's that all about?

Since several of us live in non-snow areas, we can't really relate to the whole "snow tire" concept. However, it is interesting to see that so many have to deal with it.

I think your painted rims look good! No more brake dust showing, that's for sure!

it's not just a concept, it's reality...bmw supply these sport activity vehicle with sport tires. not to mention some are equip with wide width tires in the rear also. not really awesome on snow in the new england area. my first winter with the mich diamaris..i almost ended up on a ditch on 95 going 30mph with 3 inches of snow/slush on the ground. plus the miss got me season passes to skiing/snowboarding in new hampshire. they get far more snowfall up there.

The black rims looks good on your black X5!

I'm one who does not have to deal with "seasons" and rim/tire swaps. I kinda like it, saves me money and time. If I want snow, I go to Tahoe and the X handles exceptionally well.

The black on black looks very very nice on your ride.

Believe it or not brake dusts still show on black painted rims, I used to have set and if I didn't wash my wheels every once in awhile the color changed to an unpleasent rust

Looks great. I got my snows on last week just in time for the snow over the weekend, and the next storm that's coming tomorrow. Joy.
