Outside Tire Wear X6M

My post from the X5 forumn:

“Just replaced my second set of summers use (All seasons) yesterday on my 2013 X6M…each time had the alignment dealer checked before replacing… which was a waste as - each time nothing was adjusted that may have been the cause of the outside wear.. Only have 76,000 miles….. I run winter 19” for 5 months of the year…I’m also on my second set (brand new) but the first set wore even…. No outside wear.

Yesterday I replaced with Nexen N’fera Supreme, two installed for 500 Cdn/368 USD. It was a toss up between those and Nexen Roadian GTX…

OEM Continental Conti-SSRs came off… Pirelli Cinturato P7 on the rear.

At those prices… I no longer care… They meet all the specs and then some.”

What's size 19s do you use for the winter? I have to find myself a set

And what size 19 rims? Like 19x8 or 19x9 and do you keep them the same width or also staggered like OEM? Tx

9” Square 255/50/19 or 275/40/20

Bilbo, your problem is the Nexen tires - they wear like chocolate, especially if you corner hard on them or underinflate them. Get the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 SportPlus

The Continental Extreme DWS 06 - sidewalls are super soft. Brush up against a curb and you will be looking for a replacement. Happened to a buddy of mine with an Audi using these tires.
I use the Michellin Pilot Sport A/S 3+
255/50Z R19 on 2012 X6 50i
I put about 10K miles so far - I have no complaints.

Happy with the Nexens so far…

1er-vert… the Nexens are new to the game…Contis…, now the Nexen/Pirelli Combo…

Do you spray any rubber conditioner on your hoses?… I’ve been using Mothers Back to Black… considering ATP 205….
