Best Tires for the BMW X5 4.4i

After 15000 miles the old Pirelli Run Flats were starting to make a distinct drone noise with 2.5-3 mm tread still across the tread , and wear was showing on chewed edges as always on my X5 , but i was reluctant to spend £1200 on four more run flats which just don’t last . ( i’ve owned 5 , X5 cars in 14 years all suffer tires wear on inside edges or chew the outside edge )
After looking at middle market online reviews i took a chance on the 4 replacement Tires which cost me £520 fitted And balanced . The tires are quiet on the road seem to drive as good as my Premium Main OEM Dealer suppled Run Flats . Tire wear is even across the tread but possibly a little less life expected judging by tread depth wear , but i can live with that because of the discount !

well worth the money low noise good grip in wet good grip in dry there a great budget tire compared to others I would recommend them .

These are the absolute worst tires I have ever purchased. They handle on dry roads like old bias ply tires. and if the weather turns, forget it! My old worn out Michelin's out performed these.

Legendary grip on dry, i have yet to discover its grip limits on wet on a heavy X5. The tire can put any horsepower on the ground and breaking is beyond belief. The feedback from the tires is firm and at no occasion handling is gone. The tire warns you in advance and under normal sport driving conditions will always behave nicely.
Wear rate could have been better I guess but having done 20k in town/motorway the tire is still very good and predictable. Just a bit less effective on wet. On dry roads, it will have to wear off to the alloy wheel to loose grip.
Comfort level is OK on the basis that there is no noticeable noise.
Have always fitted Michelin's and I would only fit Michelin's again. I am sure that other tires maybe equally good (probably GoodYear Eagle F1 Assymetric) but I would highly recommend this tire.

These are one of the two stock tires for an X5 w/ 19" sport package. They have a wear rating that is 140 which is generous for the fronts as they will last more then 30,000 miles (probably closer to 50,000), but not applicable for the rears which will last 22,000 - 25,000 max. The rear tire inside edge wear is very significant due to the camber and as a result impacts their performance in wet conditions significantly. You'll most likely need to change the rear's one extra time as compared to the fronts. They are definitely high performance tires and inspire confidence in the dry, but a little on the loud side and not the most comfortable tires to run on. Next time I will get the Michelin Diamaris and compare the two and update my ratings accordingly.
