1. Can I keep the old diamaris for a while, say for this summer? I mean if I keep driving under 70mph, Is it safe? maybe stupid question but other tires especially front tires are very ok but I am thinking changing all together is better in this winter with all season tires.
2. I found that latitude tour HP (all season) has specs of revolutions per mile says
front 255/50 19 --> 720 and rear 285/45 19 -->711. this spec is pretty much different from the original diamaris. (2004 X5 4.4i sport pack so x drive). so is it OK to install this tires?
any recomendation for the most durable all season tires?
3. Any recommend for alignment shop in new mexico area, alberquerque? or should I go to dealership? I really do not want to waste money for tires any more. the dealer is asking $280 for just alignment. I think it is too expensive.
Thank you and have a good day.

Hey Wigner, I am currently working with an Indie shop in Albuquerque who is extremely knowledgable about German cars. I saw your post this aftenroon so I asked him who he would reccomend for tire mounting, balancing, and alignment on a BMW. Without hesitation he said Chets Wheel Alignment at 505.299.4221. Speak to Tim and tell them that you were referred to them by Andreas at Hans Witter Automotive. These guys have been in business a very long time and are quite good. Best of luck.
