Talking New Winter setup for my X5 M Sport

I wasn't happy with my old Winter setup (Style 210 18" wheels with 255/55R18 M&S tires), so I bought a new Winter setup specifically designed for the X5 M Sport: Style 223M 19" staggered fitment, 255/50R19 front, 285/45R19 rear, Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow tires. I can't wait for the snow!

That's my setup. They work great, even on sheer ice.

I have been running Pirelli's I&S fro many years (E53 and E70's) and they rock. I am running #211's(255/19's). Some people say that they are not as good for performance but I really can't tell. You will be able to tear it up in the snow. My only suggestion is to limit the DTC because you will be able to control the X5 like a rear wheel drive car and be able to throttle the dreaded AWD push around corners in the deeper stuff.
