You won’t regret switching to the Michelin CrossClimate 2s. I’ve been running them year-round on my 2020 G01. I live in Montreal, and this is my third winter with these tires. I’ve never had any issues and even drove to Florida twice during the holiday season. Ride quality is awesome and the traction is great, even in deep snow.
I have almost 45k miles on my Michelin CC2 tires that I installed in late 2023. We run them year round (PNW) and they’re great for everything. I rotate them every 5k and anticipate another 10k-15k miles before I have to replace them. I have the same year, model, and trim X3 (purchased brand new in June 2022).
BMW run-flats are fine in summer but get sketchy fast once the snow hits, so switching to regular tires like the CrossClimate 2s is a huge upgrade in ride comfort and winter grip. It made my X3 feel like a totally different car
I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 A/S run-flats on my '21 X3 xDrive (same size) and had them on E90 as well for past several years. They do quite well in E WA winters, quiet and smooth.
Um I got my x3mc with p0's pz4 and I love them because there is no sideflex in them, you really only feel the suspension working and not the tire, so very darty steering if you will.
I put Falken Aklimates on my X3 6months ago and haven’t had any issues. Smoother ride that the Michelin’s I had. These are all-weather and good for light to medium snow. I’ve used Pirellis, Falken, Michelin, Continental etc and these handle as good or better. Benefits are that I don’t need to change from all seasons to winter now.
I have a 2012 X3. Just put Falken Aklimates 235/60R17 on.
I really like Pirelli Scorpion tires. I have used them on a couple different BMW X3's. They are good for snow and bad weather; but not much for off-roading. Scorpions are mid-priced.
I had the General Altimax HP's on my X3 and they were a way better than the Conti's they replaced. Every set of Conti's I've ever had make way too much noise. :thumbup::thumbup: on the General's
Thankfully they could install a new tire for ~$450 (Pirelli P7 Cinturato A/S).
