I have owned 5 X5's and this is the first E70.

Either BMW has taken a big step back and can't build and SAV for Sh*#@ or the Sport Maxx tires REALLY blow. Not just kinda....but REALLY blow.

My E53's have had 19's or 20's on them. But the tires were either Toyo's or Pierilli Scorpions. Never had an issue.

Today, not once but TWICE I was sitting at a light in the snow storm and started to slide off the road....sideways. And there is decent amount of tread left too. They are not bald. Couldn't stop or accelerate worth anything. It is sad when a RWD Ford panel van out accelerates you.

BMW should be ashamed they ever put such crap on a BMW.

Now to place an order for Toyo's.

Ok.....off my soap Box
