Best Tires for BMW X5

I have them installed on my m50i and just tried them out today in the snow/slush/ice. Excellent grip overall, no sliding or wheel spinning.

Always been a bi Michelin fan - never been done wrong with them. They cost a little more, but the ride and quiet are worth it to me. My X5 is right at the 70,000 mile mark with the set of Defender LTX I have on it, and I'd imagine another set is going on right behind them.

Kumho is a good brand, but there are many others. Don't skimp on your tires, many non-car people simply buy the cheapest, long-lasting tires they can find and only to discover they sold off their safety in the process.

Nokian Hakkapeliita R.

Fantastic in pretty much every way. Doesn't wear down too easy, handles snow and ice very well. I'm sure AWD helps. Might be a tad noisy on dry pavement but what snow tire isn't. Also they aren't cheap.

I bought myself a set of Nokian Hakkapellita R's and it makes a world of difference on snow and ice.

I had Blizzak on my 2014 X5 and traded it in with them, on purpose. Noisiest tires ever. Couldn't wait to get rid of them, and the X5, due to a number of cooling system failures.
