Thanks JCL and Sprocket! I will go ahead and move the tires to the front, even though I do not carry heavy loads in my X5 (I use my pickup for that). In addition to your reasons, the fact that the rears wear down much quicker is yet another reason to put the old ones on the rear.

I did my best to measure the total circumference and I got about ½ inch difference. That still sound ok?

I did the tires 2 weeks ago, and took it on a 1000 mile road trip and I received no DSC errors, but a damaged transfer case would be scary!
