The X looks great man!! You're gonna love the Blizzaks. I had them on my modded 335i last winter and that thing was unstopable in the snow. cant imagine on the X. I know you've mentioned it before but what do you have for a lowering kit? I love the drop!!

hi
now that its a few months in, how do you like those tires on your X?

i just ordered the lm-25s for my wife's X from tirerack on clearance at like ~150 per.
she was bitchin about sliding in the snow this year.
mebbe the oem A/S have just started to wear down at 36k.
i know im late in the game for winter and this should guarantee us a dry run thru the spring lol.

Nice, I never thought I would need Blizzakx on the X5 but I may change my tune. Deep snow on stock Michelins barely got through the driveway today- anout 8 inches of unplowed snow, ruts already present from the MDX which breezed through on stock Goodyears. I was surprised that the X had so much trouble and the MDX aced the same snow.

Looks really good. Nice choices to improve the look in a subtle but effective manner.

I must say, these tires make the truck feel completely bulletproof in the weather. They are comfortable in the dry and extremely capable in the snow. I can honestly say they are a perfect winter tire for my needs. I have extreme comfort and no concerns knowing my wife and kids are riding on these blizzak runflats. I did raise the truck back up to stock height for the winter. Cant wait to drop it again and put the 215's back on.

All the best
