While all-seasons will be decent, they won't perform great either. I guess it's also dependent on your region. Here in the northeast you need a good set of winter tires if you want to safely drive around with some kind of peace of mind. In my experience i love Blizzies

I ran Blizzack WS50's on my FWD Altima but that was out of necessity. 1. I couldn't get out of an intersection if it had to, 2. on snow cover highways when you changed lanes the back end would hang up on the slush between lanes and surprise you with an uncontrollable spin. Did that on day 3 of owning it! The blizzacks made the car very drivable regardless of the conditions with the exception of ice but at that point everyone is screwed! If the X handles lane changes without the wibble wobble of the backend I think I'm fine running stocks, then again, it does pave the way for nicer summer rims...hmmmm
New Hampshire doesn't treat roads down the the pavement in most storms they just keep the excess off the roadway unlike Mass where they carpet bomb the roads with salt and calcium chloride and kill everything in site. RIP to my last two cars because of excessive corrosion!

And FYI, I think the X5 handles better than any other SUV there (with the right tires on). I have easily kept driving, in the winter, where so many other SUVs and AWD drive vehicles have been stuck on hills in VT and NH... |

Running 20" BMW Style 214 reps and X6M reps on my and my wife's X5 with Michelin Alpin snow tires. 20" 275s all around. From Ray at wheeltechtuning.com. TPMS installed.
custom wheels items - Get great deals on chrome rims, custom rims items on eBay Stores! Having dedicated snows was a no brainer for me since the 20" summer tires are a death wish in the snow. I would never drive the truck with my son in it during the winter with the summer tires. X
