I went with Continentals because Michelin's did feel better but I hit many potholes and had to replace them all. Continentals hold up better and DWS better in snow. If you don't get snow, go for AS3

For the past year I have been using these Nokian WRG3 SUV performance tiers: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...IAAOSwljJdKPIy
These tires are ALL-WEATHER tires not All-season (there is a big difference), I have been using these for the past year and I cant say enough good thing about them, they perform excellent in all types of conditions, snow, deep water, dry. I live in New England and see all types of weather conditions year round these conquer everything I have thrown at them. I high recommend for anyone who see decent amount of 4 season conditions. After all they are Finland made and tested, and they see all types of extreme weather conditions year round. |

I replaced my summer Dunlop Sport Maxx Runflats with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 N-Spec and am very happy with them. I have had the Continental DWS 06s previously and while they were great tires, they had a softer sidewall which had a bit more give than I prefer on curves and turns.

No, I'm not a Nokian rep. I probably should be. The discount would have saved me a ton of money. |

I'm sure the Contis are great tires, but the customer reviews on Tirerack, made me chose the Michelins. Not sure about the AS 3 plus for 20" wheel sizes, but I have been driving on the NO's from TR since last spring, and I have been impressed with them. Plenty of grip for the X5 on public roads, both going around corners and stopping. Nothing at all like the old school AS tires that were poor compromises. We got hit by way too early snow recently, and the AS3 NO gripped better than I expected in the "snow" too. But I'm still switching to my 19" winter tires, as soon as I get back home. (sitting at the dealership ready waiting) |

Update.
Early snow here in Michigan. With the Conti DWS I have had no problem with snow or ice or slush. Now I didn’t drive it in the 9 inches we got but waited for the plow first. Here’s the rub. Mine has spent its whole life in Florida up until now and it’s rear wheel drive. |

Looking for advice on replacement tires for my 2020 X5 S Drive. I’m replacing the original Pirelli 315/35 and 275/40 21”. Mom that does regular driving, I do not swap tires out for weather. We live in Oklahoma, so some cold temps, but typically no snow. Looking for the quietest most comfortable ride I can get in wheels this size. I have run flat currently, but I believe I can add a spare and switch to non RF. Not sure if this is the correct forum….new to this and the tire forums are confusing to me😂.

When it comes to the 21" tires, I'm not sure you have a lot of great options. Most 21" tires that fits our X5's are summer or performance tires, that doesn't do that well when under 40 degrees.
If you were to switch to 20" wheels instead you have all kinds of options like the IMO great Michelin AS3+ etc. |
