Another option to help add to your tire life is to have your rear tires dismounted and flipped around. You want the insides of your tires to now be on the outsides of your tires. It cost me $18 bucks and I did it after 5,000 miles.

Even just that little mileage caused a measurable difference in tire wear. It wasn't immediately noticeable to the naked eye, but using the old Lincoln Head Penny trick as my tire depth measuring device showed a marked difference. Did on my 540 and I plan to do it on the X5 too.
