X5M Tyres - non existing

[pvr]

Trying to source a set of tyres for the X5M, however nobody seems to be able to get star rated rear tyres in the size of 325 / 35 R20 108Y

Even the dealer said they could only get Cup tyres - no thanks, not for an X5

Anyone has had any luck with that size?

Have you tried somewhere like Tyreleader on line? I think they’re based in Germany but will ship to UK. Their website is a .co.uk too.

Yes, I can see I can get Pirelli again and that is the only * rated. I just didn’t like the wearing on it, they lasted 15k miles only

Try driving more slowly….

I should stop turning right as the rear left is significantly lower than the rear right

On the E70, I never changed the tyres until I sold the car at around 40, and the E53 lasted 48k per set so it isn’t me, honestly

If it makes you feel any better, I only got about 16,000 miles out of the rear Pirelli’s (P-Zero PZ4) on the i4. Most of the 500+ hp is fed to them. Fronts are still fine at 20k. The i4 probably weighs more than your M too.

[pvr]

Nope, still don’t feel good about it

Looking at the tyres, inner side is the worn side (outer part is absolutely fine). Is that the expected wear pattern for the M or should I get the tracking checked?

Low pressure causes inner tyre wear to increase a lot , with the switch to non runflats on my e70 I had to increase from the recommended 32 to 40 psi

[pvr]

Good point - even though it is at recommended, it might be too low. Will increase it to the level of car with passengers and luggage

If you want to play you have to pay
My X6M is about the same

And I thought my Porsche tyres were wearing quickly - although the fronts I had to change due to age only .... (don't mention the rears)
