I debated for a while and decided a little extra insurance for winter weather was worth it. All seasons may be passable but certainly not ideal.

Plus, I'm not really a big fan of the Goodyear's that came on it and this was a good excuse to swap them out for at least a few months.

Thank you for guaranteeing we will not get a single flake of snow this year.

(I did my part and put my winter tires on last weekend)

Although, the weather report makes it sound like they might come in handy this weekend.

Snow tires are on both the x5 and the 3 wagon.

Yes, not going anywhere in the immediate future.

I have always liked the 162 wheels as well. I am planning to ditch the Bridgestone RFTs on them this coming spring & install the Michelin PSS.

Get the road hazard coverage. I've had more nails patched in the pss than every other tire I've owned combined.
