These are V rated all seasons, in summer as good as my P Zero summer and in winter, on par with my Pirelli Ice and Snow for my X6. Just went through 10" snow here and no problem at all. It's also much cheaper than Verde. |

Saw a car on the lot the other day with 20 inch wheels and Continental brand tires with an M+S rating. I believe it had the "all season" tire package, but not positive. Nonetheless, I did not think that M+S rated tires were an option.

Got some clarification of what the M+S marking means from the Continental tire website:
Special case 4x4/SUV tires Many SUVs and Off-road-Vehicles are equipped with tires carrying the „M+S“ marking on the sidewall. The reason for this is that this vehicle category was first offered in North America where all-season tires with „M+S“ marking are customary. Within the tire portfolio of Continental this applies for example to the product lines ContiCrossContact LX, ContiCrossContact LX Sport or Conti4x4Contact. M+S marking is officially defined in an EU directive as meaning: “a tire with a tread pattern and structure designed to better performance in snow than that of a normal tire”. The performance of “M+S” marked tires is therefore neither defined nor measured. The snow performance of winter tires is specified in North America with the so-called "Alpine symbol" symbol. Only tires which meet or exceed these requirements may carry the "Alpine symbol" symbol. Continental recommendation Even though M+S marked tires are in some European countries regarded by law as winter tires Continental recommends to use winter tires with the "Alpine symbol" on the sidewall and a tread depth of at least 4 mm in winterly conditions. |

I switched out the tires for Pirelli Scorpion Winter in 275/40/R21 on all 4 corners. The ride is great and the tires perform really well in snow and light ice. These are the tires: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...&tab=Sizes In hindsight I would have ordered my car with OEM 20" wheels. I am planning to get after market wheels and use them for my non-winter setup. |

I'm going to get another set of 21's and put 275/40f, 305/35r Michelin Pilot Alpin 5's on for winter, my winter tire of choice. The sizing difference in the rear is <1% in diameter. Not the cheapest route but I like the 21's on this car.

I live in Chicago too. I just swtich back from 22” wheel staggered 275 front and 315 rear pirelli P Zeor Pz4 to my oem 741 M 20” all season tires continental this morning. It was because heavy snow yeasterday and my car spin around at the light , lucky nobody there. I did not drive fast but seem like performance tires are really poor on snow.i personally dont like RF tires because it feel more stiff and you can feel the different when change to non run flat. The good thing for run flat is you can continue driving about 80 miles. My runflat tires on previous X1 was leaking and i have to drive back to the city which is around 40 miles. However, you have to drive slowly anyway. If you have wheel and tires warranty with dealer bad thing is that you cant fix them by outside tires shop otherwise waranty will be cancel! Have to bring in any dealer which irritating.
Be safe out there!

I have to admit that 20” wheel even with run flat tires drive more comfort than “22 , better acceleration IMO and gas consumption. But i still prefer 22” and overall i prefer cosmetic look over driving quality

275/45/20 square works great. Enough width. One can Compensate with stickier tires if you you have more HP(v8) and spinning tires Smaller wheel and tire will always handle better. The lightest rims and lightest tires you can get will do wonders for handling. Unsprung weight kills it. Limiting factor is clearing brakes so we have 20 minimum with m brakes. My lightish rims in 20 with high performance non rf tires are 70lb per corner. Boat anchors. I want 50 lb Last edited by Ilyam5; 02-19-2019 at 08:25 AM.. |
