I bought the DWS all-seasons for my XI and I have been happy with them. Another good selling point for these is their high treadlife, 540 rating. These will last 3 to 4 winters if you treat them right, and depending on how you drive. They are also not very expensive, I paid 640 for 4 mounted/road-force balanced from my guy in the Bronx.

Good luck with your decision, and make it a quick one (since its snowing here in NYC right now lol)

$640? you dont have 550 wheels though. a lot more expensive.

i have the bridgestone 960, and am happy with them. real quiet, but havent really used them in the snow much. no all-season tire is going to be that good in the snow. if snow traction is your priority, then get some snow tires.
