This is mine with MSW 47 19' rims + Bridgestone blizzak RF tires. Probably will not need them that much in Belgium but at least my M 469 keep clean during the "salt infested roads" season... |

On my way to pickup my X5, we left in a blizzard, and stopped off to pick these X Line wheels from a fellow member. They were like new with Pirelli Scorpion Winters ready to be mounted. The dealer slapped them on and voila! Yeah I need spacers very badly!!
Last shot with some other toys...

First time on an F15 but I had them before on X5M and 48i. Standard version (non-rft) in 21" on every Q7 I owned. I had them in double digit snow accumulation and single digit temps. No issues at all. (For the RR and RRSC I used the Michelin ones the MFG recommends and no complaints either. If they make those in your size you'll see they're slightly less expensive and a viable option.)

So far so good. They make a bit of noise but no big deal. Grip well on dry wet and the little snow I've been in. I have confidence that they will do just fine in the snow with smart driving.

Washing the car this morning and guess what...freshly glossed left rear has a chip in it. Damn and Blast!!!!
Any suggestions on what to do before I take it into the shop come spring time to minimise the damage between now and then. |

Can't see it getting worse. If you want just apply some alloy wheel paint then lacquer or wait till spring changeover. Yours are OEM, should be fine. I have black wheels and simply enjoy the look before the summer silver alloys return. I like the contrasting color change. Last edited by barcelona; 12-23-2016 at 05:08 AM.. |

With those Snow & Ice skins, that shouldn't have been a problem. Are you turning off DTC/DSC? Better to let all four wheels spin, otherwise the traction control systems are fighting it constantly.
