Is the toe settings part of the [decent] turn-in for such a heavy beast? Will reducing the toe to the minimum spec extend tire life, at a sacrifice of turn-in responsiveness?

Wheel fitment e53 vs e70?

I recently got rid of the 4.8is and got into an e70X5d. I'm pretty sure that my 4.6is replica wheels with snow tires will not fit correct? Due to bore size? I hope they do as they are...

I just checked the treadwear last night and they are very very near the treadwear indicator. Here's a picture and I'm guessing they are at 3-4/32" tread? Indicators are at 2/32" right?

I haven't confirmed the size and load availability for the DW's. Has anyone else? I have separate Pirelli ice/snows on 4.6is replicas so this could be an option.
