Is Dunlop Maxx really that bad in winter?
I am considering getting 20" rims with tires since tires on my 19" are getting tired. And I wonder if MAXX really makes our X5 a 5000lb sled? Are they just worse in winter weather compare to other summer tires? Thanks,

I am sure that you could keep them on your car and I am sure you will be able to get to your destination. The fun will happen when you need to do an evasive maneuver because of someone else driving in the snow on summer tires looses control. haha. in 2002, I had summer 20" on my E53 and it took one OH $4!T moment to convince myself that spending the money on a dedicated winter set for all my cars/suv's was well worth the $$$. Besides in the long run you almost/do break even. I know I broke even on my 540, E53 and SL500 when it came to the cost of running summer/winter setups

Agreed. It is also not just the snow and slush, but the fact that summer rubber has reduced grip in temps around 45 degrees F and below. Even in dry conditions.

Maybe once your blood thins out.
If temps dont get below about 45 too often, your summers will be just fine year round.

Well, as long as it doesn't drop below 40 you should be okay.
