If you guys are on the fence pulling the trigger on a similar setup, hit up PYSpeed.com ... They might get creative for end of year sales. These takes 5 weeks from order to arrival to your door step, just in time for snow. The quality and finish are top notch.
Tell Eric that Jimmy sent you.

Hey Jimmy - looks great. I've been debating the OEM 20" option but after reading a bit more I'm not sure I want to be plowing around on the scorpion dedicated snow tires for 4 or 5 months, with the poor handling that it sounds like they provide. The RS41s look awesome, and the much larger 315 year and staggered tires provide a better look as well. A couple questions - have you had a chance to check the handling yet? Is it comparable or reasonable compared to the stock 21" OEM PSS? I imagine you'll always lose a bit compared to any Summer tire...
Also, since I'm new to this vehicle and BMW, is the rotational diameter similar enough to stock to not throw codes? Did you do the install yourself? Same lug bolts? I can swap the wheels myself, but have had some issues in the past with ordering custom wheels (they were balanced but the weights fell off in transit, then had to visit the local tire shack and watch them like hawks so they wouldn't destroy the 6K wheels...). Did you have the tires and TPMS installed locally? Lotsa questions! thanks again - Jon |

The tires and TPMS were mounted by my BMW dealer. OEM lug nuts were used. As for tire diameter, it's the same as stock X5. It's technically the same tire size as the E70/F15 X5 with staggers 20s - same rotation diameter front and rear. No code issues at all.

I know my stopping distance could be better with true winter tires. Using caution to slow down an X5 with DWS, I haven't had any issues even going down a steep hill and the Rockies. It depends on where you live, most people in KC don't even switch out their tires in the winter. I don't want to have too much of a stopping advantage over them, because they will just plow right into me if I'm not aware of slippage during braking. So in a way, I don't want to stop faster than other idiots on the road. The DWS06 is king of all-seasons for the winter and good enough for Midwest area. I will post a review of the DWS06 once some heavy snow hits.

KC received freezing rain, then topped off with 3" of snow + 18 lows. I'm happy to report the DWS06 performs flawless as expected on unplowed roads. My X5M rolls around like a tank, climbing steep hills in my neighborhood and stops very well. I highly recommend DWS06 if you don't want true winter tires.
Photos coming soon.
