Its the best price I could find for the quality I searched for ages to get the right combination of size. I ordered a set last week they should arrive tomorrow. :xmasgrin:

Had these fitted last night. Not much rim protection at all but not an issue as the top view camera's are great for saving rims! All in all a bloody completely transformed car!
Much more grip and feel now - hope it snows this weekend to check their real usage

Tyres are bloody huge though you get a better idea of how big they are once they are off the rim

I had my old ones back as I thought I would use them as planters in the garden. Cost me a fortune filling them with compost!

Thoughts on what the X5 would be like with just rear snow tyres?
I reverse my car into the drive (it's just easier and safer when leaving the house again) and the car slips in slush/snow.

You should always fit winter tyres to all four wheels or none.
