Perhaps I’m just spoiled, as the roads here in the Netherlands are top notch.
Best Tires for BMW X5
Today I will get Pirelli runflat because sounds like it has better thread wear than continental .
I’ve been running conti DWS 06s on my X5/7s for years. Really like them. Good all weather traction, even in the snow. If you’re in lots of snow often then a true winter/summer setup is best as nothing beats snow tires, but for the usual storms we get in the Denver area they’re solid.
I'd go with the Continental studdless, they are a bit better than what I have on my own X5, the Goodyear tires you've listed.
I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.
I’ve got Scorpions on my X5 and they’re O K.. but don’t have a super aggressive tread and I think the weathepeaks will be better in the snow. Plus the Scorpions haven’t been wearing great. I’ve got 30k on them and I don’t see them making it to the 60k warranty
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
I had Pirelli Scorpion Zeros on my X5 and hated them. I switched to Michelin CrossClimate 2’s and it feels much more planted to the road.
I have the Ps4s on my x5m and I’ve disliked them from day 1. Honestly can’t wait to put my winters back on so I don’t hear so much road noise.
Also in Colorado with 50e. Have 21-inch wheels with factory Hankook “all season” performance run flats. Just ordered a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s for winter to replace the Hankooks that perform like I’m on an ice rink with bald tires…
