BMW winter tire package

We too live in a climate that requires winter tires. The wife got the upgraded 21" staggered wheels on her X5 so cannot just buy tires and not rims.

Shipping costs just too great to TireRack it and the local tire shops, frankly, are very expensive for the sized wheels the 2019 X5 requires. Heck, even Costco (our goto) is cost prohibitive (and they didn't even have wheels in stock for the X5). So off I went to the local BMW dealership where I picked up these 19" wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Winter 265/50 R19s. $2800 USD. Not cheap but just barely more than TireRack shipping with wheels that I don't think looked particularly good.

I'm putting them on in two or three weeks.Name:  IMG_3418.JPG
