Who buys an ///M for mountain trails? It's one thing to disagree with the whole premise of an ///M SUV, that's a different point entirely, if that's what you're really getting at... but IMHO it's just silly to say a car with all of those performance upgrades should fall short where the car meets the road.
I understand that it's a M line but don't forget that BMW X vehicles come with all wheel drive. They don't really need all that sticky rubber to get the power down. I think it's sillier that you buy a SUV that can only be driven during the summer.

Also didn't realize the Dueler were the H/P summer models. Bummer...
You do realize there is more to tires than "getting the power down".
