And I kind of lean towards off road and snow utility. Though I admit that I drive a minor % of this.

But seriously what am I missing, performance wise?

And what is the alternative to runflats? Put a compact flat in the rear sump?

I'm new to the BMW x5- I love it so far, but i l know there is a lot more potential...

Not even sure what I am asking...

Perhaps: what is good performing tire with winter capability? And is it worth it to replace the Bridgestone Duelers?

Just looking for thoughts/ideas/experiences- i know this is a 'loaded' question.
So much in this topic friend. Welcome to the forum! And : will get you further faster.
