Winter rubber is so soft if it's not cold enough. Given there is a flip side...
I plan on doing the Conti DWS on the stock 20 m sport wheels. We know wide tires for snow is a no no but many other X5 (e70) owners commented on how surprisingly good the contis were considering they are an all season, WWide tire.

I have the Contis on my E70 w/20" and they are great! For our driving needs, dedicated winter rubber isn't necessary.
If I were ordering an F15, I would swap out the crappy Dunlops with Conti DWS at delivery and try and sell the Dunlops as "take offs." However, selling them might be a real PIA
