It seems like a bunch of members, including, myself have gone with staggered Yokohama Bluearth v905 winters.
I had DWS06 the last 2 seasons and they were OK in snow, but not great. I never got stuck and didn't have trouble getting around but they definiitely didn't handle well.
The Yokohamas seems to be able to handle better in snow and have better ability to stop.
I wouldn't say it's worlds better than the Dws tires but definitely better and more confidence inspiring
The x5 rear tire is Extra wide. I believe it's the limiting factor.
Just set your expectations correctly.
Driving on winter tires in winter doesn't mean your car will handle like driving on summer tires in summer.
Ultimately, you'll be able to make it around in either tire. Just need to worry about those emergency stops and swerves. That's where the winter tires shine.
