I have an xi and run UHP all-season General Exclaims [ 245/40x18 ] in the winter months. They work very well in the limited snow we've experienced in Southern NJ. However, last winter when we had 12"+ of snow I pulled out of my driveway w/out slippin and sliding ...

Just took my brand new Michelin Alpin's thru a week's worth of snow in Washington State. Tried multiple times to slip and slide while crossing the North Cascades mountain pass (twice!), but couldn't...not even once...of course xDrive didn't help.

I'm rolling on Conti DWS tires - UHP A/S + X-drive should equal unbeatable winter performance.

What can I say - Xi FTW
