The real advantage is the XI.
This morning with RWD and 275 winter tyres, I was still and the car slid to start in 1st gear. So I engaged the 2nd and it went up, but I thought with winter tyre I could do everything but it isn't true. Simply exit from difficult situations and brake decently, but nothing more.

You would have done a lot better if you had gotten 17" tires or something a bit narrower

I know with 17" was better, but I didn't want to lose the look of 19"
Vredestein is the brand, good year group.
Plus this car is too light (1600 kg) so less grip.
