Winter tires
Time to get winter tires for the new X5. Unfortunately, the wheel sizes are different from my old e70, so I can't reuse my beloved Nokian Hakka 7s. They also no longer make the 7s, and the 8s are sold out in North America. I could do the Hakka R2 SUV which seems fine (though very expensive), if a bit tamer than the 7 and 8.
I'm open to any suggestions (doesn't have to be Nokian). Thanks! |
I love the Nokians on my e46, they are unbelievably good. I agree they are pricey and hard to find, but if you're going to be keeping the x5 for a while probably worth the price for Boston winters. Did you check ebay for 8s? Might be able to onsey twosey a set from there if you have some patience.
On that note, if you still have your e70 set up and want to discuss selling them, PM me :) |

I have the gamut on sedan winter tires but little experience with SUV ones (only one set on my short lived X5d).
I'd say stick with something H-rated or lower speed. Michelin X-ice line and Bridgestones are all fine tires. |
I ended up with some Michelin on the x3 because it was the only thing TR had in the size I wanted. Sometimes having no choice makes the decision easy. :)
