toyo proxes stII are also around that price range... also all-season.
Frankly I don't know why they give you high performance summer tires on this "truck" even if it's a sport pack... too much hassle changing out twice a year, plus they wear fast.

You should be fine with all-season tires.... Most people do fine with all-season tires, 2WD and 1500 pounds less. Also, most people have no clue that summer and winter tires exist.
I've always changed out summer and dedicated winter tires, but with the X5 I'm going with all-season tires year round in Chicago. However, there are no mountain passes for me to drive through, just the occasional deep snow on flat ground. The Continental DWS has great reveiws, I was actually going to get them, but they have been backordered for a while. I went with the Yokohama Avid Envigor which also has great review and as a bonus are cheaper. I just got an email they shipped today.

I am sure this will just be noise but I drove my X5 with OEM all seasons and also winter setup/summer setup.
The difference between the All Season and the Winter tire is HUGE. I am running Pirelli Scorpion Ice/Snow(255/19's) for my winters. My OEM all seasons could get me to and fro but with the Pirelli's the car never slid and the car stopped on a dime. I no longer had any torque steer when going around the corner. The tires grab like crazy. On another note, winter tires which are meant for below 45 degrees have "400" tread-ware which from past experience on X5's mean they do not ware. See about 2/32 ware a year on my winters (on my E53 and E70) which you can run them a long time. What I found is running winter/summer setup cost no more than running an all season setup but I get better performance with the winter/summer. The only difference is I had to pay the money for my winter setup upfront instead of waiting for the All Season to ware out.
