So I found it very strange when I was considering the X6 22" tires, that the two factory tires both warn about cracking in low temperatures and I ultimately decided against going w/the 22" b/c I didn't want to spend an additional $2K for all seasons on delivery.

The Pirelli P ZERO (PZ4) Max Performance Summer, warns...
Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking due to use in ambient temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius), so the P Zero (PZ4), like all summer tires, is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

and the Continental PremiumContact 6, Grand Touring Summer, warn...
Grand Touring Summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
