Less weird X1.

I've always found this gen X1's proportions a bit odd. However, I may have solved that problem in part. Take a gander at "Winter Mode Engaged."



Those are 225/50/18 Blizzak LM 32's. Have yet to experience snow, but the on road manners I like more than the P7's (except the slight hum). I think I will get a set of 225/50/18's for the non-winter season to keep this look. Any suggestions? I want the sportiest all-season available.

I went 235/45/18 on mine, Bridgestone Driveguards, on stock 18" rims. A smoother riding runflat that in combination with the H&R springs give it a much better look!

I like it and will consider for when I need new tires. I drive off road as much as I do aggressively so it would be fine for me.

Can we get a direct side pic from either of you?

Sorry for the delay due to the holidays. She is a little dirty from the rain this morning, but here is a side pic:
