I went through 2 sets of Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asymmetrico and was ready to get my 3rd set until I learned they discountinued our staggered 19 sizes  |
No issue at all with the Pirelli Scorpions, just that the X5 had Michelins with a tread compound that was developed together with BMW specifically for the X5. They worked very well for me. Sold the X5 with 70,000 km and the original tires had approximately 20% tread left. Pirellis on the X3 were replaced at 72,000 km and had enough tread to go 90,000.
