Hi,
I'm not 110% sure, but I believe the "W60" are last year's (?) model, and that's the one I bought. I think the latest numbering is "70" now... or so

Doesn't make a difference to me, though.... they're awesome!!

I don't know what's the best for an 'xi' in 17"... sorry, since I'm just an 18" 'i'

according to the salesman the ws-60 do not have as deep of a tread as the 70.... the reviews on the 70 so far are great so i wouldn't go with the older one unless you get a sick deal.

I hated my WS70s until yesterday. They are awesome in the deep snow! I was able to drive just fine when the snow was above the doors. I felt bad for the undercarriage, but had no issues!

Hey!!!OMG so I guess your guy couldn't make that work for you? That sucks, but if your having a set made for the xi they looked awesome! Especially on your car/color combo. And the families good! Thanks for asking! Tell your wife I said "hi"..
