To be honest with you, I'm considering it. Lots of power going to the rear wheels. If I kick the accelerator going into a curve, I sometimes feel like she's going to break loose on me. The X6 I drove at the PC was glued to the road going through the slalom and the track. I felt in control at all times. It had 20s, but didn't have the extra 40 hp. I'm sure the additional power and the narrower tires are both contributing factors.

I have to ride the 19s out for the winter, I'll consider it over the next few months.

Just think, it can only kick out so much with the trick rear diff and x-drive...

After a couple snow drives you should be able to say if and how much better the rear diff makes it for snow.

No no....just tormenting you from the various member's pressing you to get the 20's...

There's nothing wrong with 19's. Its not the size that counts, its how you use it.

if....if you decide to do something...and while I'm a big fan of the OEM choices...I saw these on Tire Rack while shopping for my winter wheel setup.. Similar in concept to the M wheels, but with space between each spoke arm.
