This vehicle is now on its third set of tires, all Michelin 4x4 Diamaris, this is one of 3 X5's we have all on 20" factory rims. The tire has proved its worth by far. Surpassing all cheaper brands for these rims. This last set has just been changed @ 27k miles with another 2k left in them, however a trip to Chamonix would be pushing it!! Pricey yes @ £1200 a set but they have performed well on all the 3 vehicles we have. Dunlop's just as pricey and last 20k on the rear. The vehicles are driven hard and carry loads, wear generally occurs when the suspension bushes are worn and the ride camber changes. Crutial on the X5 to check suspension wear after 20k. Would I by them again? Certainly for X5's.
