I agree with Duh Car though - you need a set of winter tires for sure. I ordered our X1 with 19" wheels (series 324) and then am having the 18" wheels (series 322) put onto winter tires as part of what BMW calls the "tire upgrade and OEM winters" option. Hope this helps. I'll post pics when it arrives. We are replacing my wife's 2009 Mini Cooper S with the X1 and looking forward to it!

IMHO sports suspension and low profile tires are just too bumpy for TO roads. I'd recommend just going with the regular tires and then buying aftermarket wheels and snows from someplace like Steelcase Tires. A lot cheaper than buying wheels and tires from a BMW dealership. Just sayin'.

Thanks Duh Car for your input - I appreciate it. I have until the delivery date to make my final decision on the wheels, so I will take your thoughts into account. The 19" wheels look amazing though!
