riM3 Your detailed insight is quite thorough. I assume that you have thought about a compact spare. Price point is great and consignment deal is hard to pass up. Personally I prefer RF mainly due to blow outs, less frequent in RF's. Also, I do not always drive with both hands on the wheel on the highways, yup I am bad.

I had some all-season conti's on a C300 I had and never felt the need for snows, they were great in all conditions, like the "all-season" designation implies but rarely delivers.

Great post riM3! Please keep us posted on how the Contis do with winter performance as well as comfort an noise over time.
I purchased the space saver spare option with my X5 so that I could easily make the switch to non-RFTs if necessary. On a related note, the OEM Michelin all-seasons that came on my X5 seem to be doing much better now that I've put some more miles on them. They currently have about 2500 miles and seem to be better in snow, ice, and slush. I'm going to give them a bit more time because I'm happy with the comfort and noise levels. |

Awesome riM3, I will check these out. I was leery of getting OEM snowboard racks due my prior experience - agree on the wind noise. Thanks for the links, I'll definitely be checking out the LiftOps.
