The best perfomance tires already loses grip below 6-4 degrees celsius. There are two type of winter tires, for western europe and for northern europe. Northern europe tires performe better with very low temperatures but these tires are softer and in summer they do not performe very well. Western Europe tires are harder and better in summer but do not have very good traction in low temperatures.

I recommend winter tyres. AS is just bad at everything and the only ones pushing this is car manufacturers and rental companies needing to cut costs. To get a grip on cold roads you need natural rubber. To get lots of miles you ned plastic. Plastic in cold climate gets really hard and will be like skates. AS tyres tries to be an avarage of that. If you own a BMW x5 and paid that kind of money buy the real thing. X5 is a heavy car...

Uhoh, this is 1st time I've heard that the 22's aren't as smooth. I was hoping the nonRF would help (none of my local dealers at the time had 22 in stock). Tried to talk my wife into the 20's but she didn't like how the 20's and 21's looked. We also didn't get the Air suspension so we might be in for a rodeo/bronco ride...!

I am the perfect example of why AS are optimum. I had to drive 1100 miles down the east coast. Winter tires in the south would have been horrible. I hit snow and ice on the return and the AS tires worked excellent. Never one issue with hydroplane or lack of grip in partially covered snowy roads. I left in -5 degree temps and was 85 degrees in Florida.

Let's see, what the reaction to this will be!
On my F15 I have been running Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres for the past 3 years, first set still on. Planning the same on the new G05, even BMW here in Germany has released a wheel set in 20" with 275/45R20s, this is the only tyre on the market with M&S and snowflake logo (insurance purposes met).

Guys do you know if I can get all seasons for my 22 inch M wheels? I currently have the standard performance summer but plan on taking my SUV up to the mountains this upcoming winter and need to throw on all seasons or winter tires. Any suggestions?

21" P Zero AS have worked great for me on my Q7, even in our Midwest winters; can't imagine that Quattro is that much better than X-Drive. Not RF tho'...

they don't make any in the needed sizes of 275/40R21 and 315/35R21 for the P Zero AS

My bad - 21" 285/40 Scorpions on the Q, AS, not staggered. Was an option to replace the Summer Performance OEM - definitely not an alternative here about 6 months out of the year. Have worked great, but the X5s will have 20" RF. Several considerations: easier to find, cheaper to replace, better ride.
