BMW X5 3.0i tires
I am about to replace tires on my X5. After reading the newsgroups I
came to a conclusion that OEM Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus not a good choice for the car at all. Actually off road these tires suck. I do drive on snowy mountain passes and off road. Any recommendations here? Dimag |

If you you plan on using the same tires all year long (i.e. no dedicated winter and summer sets), yet require somewhat decent snow traction, I'd suggest you look at Nokian WR. Cheers, Pete |
