Thanks Pinewood.

There are a few protyre centres not too far from me, worth making a call.

Any idea what their charges are?

I have using sky insurance for many years now, since my M3 days and have always paid around £550.  Have the same engine has yours on the X5 but I only do 5000 miles a year. 

Hello I have just had brand new bridgeston runflats replaced on my E70 2008 35D. The old tyres were worn from the outer edges, the rears were fine. Think it time to get the alignment checked and corrected. Can anyone recommend someone who knows these cars when it comes to tracking. I can travel ...

[quote="Riggie"] [quote="kay323"] [quote="sitrom"] I agree with the fact that non RFTs give a better ride. However I was under the impression that there are NO star marked tires non RFTs for the X5, and I have read in the past that if you don't put star marked tires, you increase the risk of ruining ...

Anyone know of any good offers on BMW rated tyres.  Need this for the staggered 19" setup.

probably be Bridgestones

With black circle you can get fully fitted price and choose a local garage.

So seems like it's best to stick with bmw rated tyres, which means sticking with the run flats

Are there any non RFT That have the same outer diameter as the rated tires ?

I also had a recall on my 2008 e70 for the security update.  They needed to keep the car overnight

Thanks.  These are for the e53 then.  I need 107

As the E70 X5 came with RFT tires from the factory so I assume only RFT tires will be * rated? 

Can you still buy non RFT that are BMW * rated ?

I have noticed that when they have good offers it is usually to clear old stock.

I hate buyig tires!  First it was lots of research and phoning insurance when deciding to swith from RFT to Non - RFT and now if I should get BMW rated or not.

I thought I had made my decision with with the Toyo T1 !

What is the best way to find out (website) to which is * rated as some sites say they are 8 rated and other don't. For example, Bridgestone ER30 Turanza are marked as BMW rated on Camskill website not on many other I looked on. How much of a big deal is these BMW rated tyres ? to be honest I only ...

Hello

Is anyone running Bridgestone ER30 Turanza 255/50/19 on the E70 X5 ?

Found these at a good price on Camskill and Tyre Leader.  These also seem to be BMW * rated.

Hello Has anyone bought tires from Black circle ? First time buying tires for my X5 and have read it is best to stick with BMW * approved tires. Now, when i search for the tires I enter my vehicle registration the site picks the correct car (2008 BMW E70 x5 3.0sd). Will all the tires the website ...
