interesting to read - I have exactly the same summer and winter tyres and planing to change over week-end into winter shoes ... the 19 staggered are not too bad (3000 km on them) will see how much quiter sottozero's are. BTW, I noticed this also on my ex 5 serries - summer 17 bridgestone were noisier than first generation sottozero's. but on 5 summer tyres were run flats and winter tyres were standard, so I attributed noise to rft. now on x3 both summer and winter are rft
