Now nearly 2 years and 20k miles in. These tires are still as good as they were new and tread has only dropped to 5-6mm all round, suggesting >40,000 miles a set which is more than the OE Pirelli P7 summer tires managed. Have experienced winter slush and light snow without any grip issues, when the car felt stable and safe, but as I live on the south coast with regular trips to family in Yorkshire, they don’t need to be a dedicated winter tire. Economy unchanged around 45mpg overall, 50mpg on a motorway run. For my use, these have been very impressive and I would be happy to replace them with another set, although there may be even better choices in 3 years when these should be just about done.

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.

What BMW X3 2.0d XDrive drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Have a nearly new BMW X3 on these tires. Horrible road noise on all but silky smooth roads. I am swapping for another brand at my cost to alleviate this issue. These tires do give good handling but it seems noise and comfort were never considered !!!
Great driveability with this tire, but the noise levels on less than silky smooth roads is horrible compared to the Pirelli P7s I was using on my last car, so wouldnt buy again.
Bought these to replace Bridgestone A005 Evo all season tires. They are an improvement on these in every way and feel similar to the original BMW * marked Pirelli P7 in the dry, with the benefit of winter performance. The leap in technology over the last 10 years is incredible, so that I can have one tire which is as good as the original summer tire yet feels better to drive on in the wet/winter than the BMW winter tires. So far, after 5000 miles, the tread has only dropped to 7mm suggesting around 50k miles from a set. Amazing! Managed to get them for £130 each too.
