X5 M50D Size of winter tires

[SUV55]

So it seems that many of you ordering a winter set prefer the look of the 467 wheel over the 449.

I meant 19 all around vs 19 with wider tires. Bmw does not offer a complete set with wider setup 19. BUT if you want you can buy it separately and add a tire of your own choice later.

Sign me up for a set also!

Did BMW promised that the 20" winter setup would be RFT? or are you talking about the 20" that your car came with and that BMW compensated you for this with a hefty discount on the winter wheels?

I have 275/40 r20 x 4 studded Nokian Hakka 8 SUV, I think rear alloys are 11 inch wide, and front are 10 inch wide.

I'd love to see more pictures of your X5 with those wheels. Those are the liquid black rims from BMW right? I just order my wife the space grey M-Sport with those rims. I'd love to see your X5 out in the daylight

Thanks!

They are the Bmw 491s. It's been raining a lot, so days are gloomy. I will try to remember once it clears in a few days.

Hi @Heden. No they promised that the 20" 469m's were All Season RFs. As discussed on this forum no such tyre as a 20" RFT All Season exists hence the 'compromise' on me getting the 19" wheels and tyres at <half price.

I was close to buying these also, but we get a lot of snow and I'll be using the X5 for many weekends skiing and I just feel the 19"'s will give me a bit more confidence. I also felt the all black wheels and my saphire black paint was too black on black.

Looking at yours kip1 makes me a little envious.

Okay, I think that you came out on top. Great summer tyres and great winter tyres as well.

All-season tyres are more or less crap anyway.

LOL! Thanks for posting the pic. I get a really good idea how our X5 will look with those wheels.

Thanks again

Here is my space gray with winter set up. Not nearly as cool as 20" but a good compromise
