: : : What sizes and types of Snow Tires will be available for the X5?

: : The Michelin Pilot Alpin at 111.00 and the Dunlop winter Sport at 182.00 per tire in a 235/65R17. We are developing a wheel that will have the load capacity for the X5 for snow tire packages. It will be the ATP 5 Razze at 189.00 per wheel. If I can help let me know. Thank you Jim

: What will the rating of the Michelin and Dunlop tire be and why is there such a price difference?

Both of the tires are H speed rated tires so there are more performance rated snow tires. We have not has a chance to test the Dunlop tire so I really don't know why they are so expensive. I have driven the Michelin tire and they are not that good in the snow but they are a good handling tire and good on the ice. By September we should have the tires available and we should know more at that time. Give me a call if I can help. Jim 800-428-8355-364
