Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Pirelli P Zero PZ4 265-45-20 BMW X3m 10,000 miles November 22, 2025
Well i got these on my x3m at 500hp it puts the power to all but most the rear. They wear very quickly in the back and virtually not at all in the front and I am a very spirited fast driver.
But the steering response is second to none, combined with a proper M vehicle the steering is tight and crisp with zero sideflex or body roll delayed via the sidewall.
So you have to pay to play so accept the quick wear in the back for the excellent performance.

Gripmax Status Pro Winter 245-40-20- BMW X3m 30,000 miles August 31, 2023
Bought these tires new in 2019. Used them during the winter only 2019/2020/2021 and then they remained mounted through 2022 and until July 2023.
Front 240/40R20 and rear 275/35R20.
They served really well until cca apr-may 2023 when I first started noticing mild vibrations. I wrote it off on disbalancing. By mid July the vibrations became so strong I decided to visit the shop just to find that 3 out 4 tires had sever deformations.
Front tires had their inner walls started bubbling and one rear tire was so deformed on its contact surface that it looked like a wave. Luckily I had a set of summers sitting somewhere so I convinced the shop to put the winter tires back on so I can drive home and return with summers for change...
Perhaps my laziness with tire swapping costed me perfectly good winter tires or perhaps its durability is subpar to better brands.
Either way, I would gladly use them again and hopefully with a proper seasonal swap they could last couple of years longer :)

Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125 225-45-19- BMW X3m November 8, 2022
Just had a full set fitted to my 2016 BMW X3 f25 3.0d m sport. This car has had a few tweaks and is now putting out 321 bhp and equally increase in torque (on the rolling road at the wheels so need a good tires) had had Goodyear Dunlop and Pirelli’s before all good makes but all suffered tramlining. So for these seem a lot better just need to see how they wear as tread depth seem so to be less than 8mm as new. Normally get 10k (miles) from a set.The ride is very smooth taking them on the motorway soon so will see how they perform their.

Continental Sport Contact 6 265-40-21- BMW X3m 12,000 miles September 15, 2022
Bmw x3m stock tires. Dry grip warm weather is incredible.. and confidence inspiring. Dry cold the tires can produce some understeer when pushing. Wet grip cold an warm these tires surprised me with the amount of grip that had. 20,000kms and the rear are quite worn but I do launch the car fast off the lights often. The fronts can last another 2000kms roughly. Definitely recommend these if you get them for cheap
