I thought for suv like this big, it better to have wwider tire for the rear axles as compared to what they put up front. Wider tires will give as much rubber as possible to transmit power to the pavement? And they look better? Please educate me. Thanks |

Just mounted 285/40/22 as well......square setup....they look great.
Somehow found one place that had literally 1 set of Yokohama Parada Spec X left in stock.

275 40 22 front 315 35 22 rear I don't see extreme weather here in the Bay Area. It hardly rains, no snow at all. We may take car to Lake Tahoe 2-3 times a year just for kids to go skiing. I prefer low noises, comfortable over performance. What's your recommendations? Do I real need winter tires for my situation? Confused. Thanks |

I'm in the Bay Area too and not worth it keeping a set of winters for the 2-3 trips a year we make to Tahoe. We usually take our other car (with all seasons) or rent a car. Actually planning to do exactly that on our next trip there this winter.

Thanks for sharing your experience. So those stock tires (run-flat tires) are not good for the trip to Tahoe?

How is the speedo? Combine with bmws built in error margin it must be reading pretty high vs actual speed? |

I am thinking to get a set of all season tires with snow chain? What you do you think? |

How are these tires working out for you guys?! I am almost through our second set of factory continentals. We have 16k miles total. They seem to last about 8k per visit and the dealership wants nearly $3,000 to replace and align them. I laughed at them this last time and told them why align anything when they last 8k miles and 10 months?
I want to get the pirellis just to try at this point?! Neil |

If you do go with all season, instead of snow chains, I recommend you get snow socks or auto socks. Much easier to go on/off than chains and works better than chains. They just don't last as long as chains, so you'll have to plan to replace them after a few hundred miles. |
