I have the Vredestein Wintrac Xtremes on 19" factory style 335s installed right now - they are a great tire - superb in the snow and ice plus they are a UHP tire, which manifests in the ride & handling - overall great tire! I just ordered summer tires and a set of 20" wheels. I really wanted to try ...

I ordered a set of Wintrac Xtremes yesterday in 255/50/19! I am very excited to try them out. They will be replacing: Continental Contact 4X4 SSR Runflats The Continental run flats are the only tire I have tried on my X so I am very very excited to try out the Vredesteins. Although I absolutely love ...

Anyone have experience with Vredstein Wintrac Xtreme?

I want something good in the snow without sacrificing too much handling.

Thx!

Beautiful car - everything just works!

What is that wheel called, it is stunning!

Rims look awesome with that color - what is that color?

Congratulations - beautiful car!

Ha, very funny. But you know what - I had to travel to London for a business trip in 1985, and being an American, I thought I had to rent a car to get around (boy was I wrong). It was a little Fiat and I thought it was going to be incredibly awkward, but once I pulled out onto the road on the wrong ...

Let me try to post the pics again: http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m526/steve-arends/X5%20Xdrive50i/X52.png http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m526/steve-arends/X5%20Xdrive50i/X54.png http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m526/steve-arends/X5%20Xdrive50i/X57.png http://i1130.photobucket.com ...

Well, I think BMW has evened it out some by making the Xdrive40D and the XdriveM50D available only in the rest of the world and not the US. I would imagine the M50D is awfully pricey, but this would be the one to have if one could afford it. In our market I believe there are quite a few 5.0 X5s ...

Conclusion - Purchased 2011 Xdrive50i I am 1/2 way home driving our new X5 from Chicago back to Fort Collins, CO. All I can say is "WOW!!" I am so in love with this car, already. And, I am reminded why I love BMWs so much - I have owned a 92 325IS, 87 325IS, 99 M3, 95 540i 6 speed, 02 M5 (swoon) and ...

[quote="X5Sport"] Mainly because of the cost of fuel. . . . . . [/quote] Thank you for the wonderful analysis and summary of the state of things in Europe. Isn't it odd that state-side we are in such a different position. As of the moment diesels here are a minority. I use a diesel pickup truck ...

Why is it the diesels are so popular there? Is it the fuel price AND the fuel economy? Over here diesel is usually more than gas. Example, today regular octane gas is $3.45 and diesel is $3.69. Premium gas is $3.59. However about 6 months ago diesel was 50 cents higher than premium gas. Since ...
