Sticky tires for X5M E70

[chris604]

Hey all. Just wondering where you think the best place is to get tires for my 2010 X5M. Stock bridgestones are fairly grippy, but does anyone make track tires, or Max performance summer tires, and have you tried them out? My OEM bridgestones, were on for about a year, and due to the insanely high negative camber, have completely worn the insides, so time for new ones.

Thanks

Depending on your size and budget, you could get the Michelin cup 2 tires, otherwise super sports work well

tirerack says it's not available in the OEM sizes (275/40ZR20 106Y XL and 315/35ZR20 110Y XL


Found these. they look cool, but not sure about performance:

Also, How long does everyone's tires last? Mine were brand new, when i got the car, about 15 months ago now. And, they were coming apart at the seams a month ago, just been too lazy to change them.

The softer the compound the less it will last. So don't expect for them to last long especially on a powerful and heavy car. I'm guessing 10k miles? But possibly more.

Nitto NT05 tires are very good tires with very good grip in the dry, for a street vehicle. It's not a track tire, like the R888R, but I would definitely consider if you want a pure summer tire.

I got my X5M in March 2018 with Pirelli PZero runflats (fairly used) and while I found them really grippy, they used up like butter and within 2 months I had a flat on one of the rears. Put on some other PZeros on all four, and within 4 months they were used again down to the indicators and I got another flat on the rear and needed to change them all again! I was driving around 100km a day mostly highway, without speeding...

For the Michelins, look up the stock size for the F85 20" wheels. They're slightly wider than the E70 dimensions (285/325) but will work just fine.
