Tyres??????

Post by meshien » Tue Jul 24, 2018 7:52 pm

So I’m looking at some new tyres shortly.......

I’ve got a staggered set up on a 7 seat X5 30d 2013, 20” wheels

Looking at tyres I want something that will wear well and are not too noisy.

Currently on Pirelli P Zeros, looked at the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT but been told that the compound is very soft so will wear very quickly?

What is everyone else using at the moment?

I am running 4 x matching Dunlop SP QUATTROMAXX on my current 4x4...(not an X5). No issues as such, no roll, ok in dry or wet albeit not tried a wet emergency stop yet.

I ran diamaris on my E53 for 11 years before I sold it but would have replaced with Toyo Proxes ST. This based on reviews from owners on here.....not just forum chat but face to face discussions. Good in summer and fine in winter....they supposedly cope with light snow fairly well too.

I know mine is an e53 but I ran conti sport 5 and got 24k now on the continent 6 and will be lucky to see 16k the wear is perfect across the tyre. So will be looking elsewhere on renewal

Ive got dunlop sport maxx on our 2011 4.0d Cant tell you what sort of mileage i get out of a set but i now run them at 38psi fronts and 39psi rears. These pressures i have found stops the edges wearing on the outer fronts and the inner rears. They are probably all now around the 4-5 mm tread range, and i have that across 100% of the tyre widths. Cheapest i find is ordering with black circles and with the local kwik fit centre fitting them.
