Those tires look fantastic. One question: how do the actual dimensions compare to the stock Michelin Damaris? The Damaris are a beefy tire, each of its dimensions is larger than the same size tire from Bridestone, Pirelli, or even the Michelin Latitudes. Again, those look great on your X5.

Thanks, I do still like them. I have several more miles on them and they are just as quiet and sticky as day one. No strange wear.

As far as dimensions, They are the same. The do look a tad smaller due to the shoulders of the tire. There is no aggressive shoulder like the Damaris. But rest assured, they are the same size and grip WAY better.

I got them at Bones Enterprise. I called them, got there contact off eBay. I would just "Buy it now" and save the 5 min call. Good guys. I think there were 899.

OK boys and girls. I have a few hundred miles on these. I have heat cycled these and are ready for anything.

I really want to get this out on the track. Someplace like VIR. I want to scare some cars

Anyway.. So far I LOVE THEM!!!!!.

Rain: I have been in VERY heavy rain, no strange drama. quite sticky in the rain. Think Goodyear GSD F1 sticky. I thought I would see something strange here, but nope. I have been in rain about 6 times.

Dry: Quiet and positive. I do notice after about 10 miles they get even sticker. As I pull into work 15+ miles away, I can hear the loose gravel stick to the tires. So far wear is good. There is nothing noticeable or strange wear. Like the BFG KDW's I have seen before. I find myself going faster that I should in this X, but it keeps wanting more.

Gravel: Who knows... I still am on the road

I bet they will do fair.

Snow: Hell NO and I will not find out. (looking for winter wheels soon) These may not like the very cold, and the tread pattern is not a snow tire. Think organ doner here.

All is well and I still give them
