Tire opinions wanted
My primary consideration is crisp handling during spirited driving. Several years ago we had put a set of Michelin Latitudes on the car and the annoying understeer during hard cornering prompted us to return them (man, I love Costco's customer service and return policy!) I don't want to repeat that situation, so I'd love to hear from those of you who've run the Pirellis and Bridgestones on your X5s.

I have the Bridgestone dueler sport all seasons on my 18" wheels and they are awesome. Got them at Costco when the Bridgestones had the $70 coupon. Quiet and competent tires in dry/wet/mild snow (hey, I go to Utah once in a while just to remind me why I live in a hotter place!).

Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport Non-RFT here.
They feel great, run wide in their size compared to other manufacturers, and life is around 50-60k (I rotate mine). Best pricing can be found at roadway wholesale tire.

I run 255/55/18 Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport All Season tires on the 18s. I have the crusty Michelin Diamaris tires on the 19s (summer wheels). I may just put a set of the Bridgestones on those too and sell the 18s. These tires are very, very good.

I run 19inch Falken FK453 on my X and they are fantastic. Great mileage, Great performance and very quiet. 40psi front and rear. Had the Bridgestone Duelers on when i 1st purchased it and didnt like them.
Sorry, just my experience. Last edited by Arrowskartax9; 03-24-2015 at 11:02 PM. Reason: more info

The ride was very harsh. They werent run flats either. Have a look at the Falken STZO5 They come in the size you have.

The H/P Sport is the one to get. Not at all harsh or unforgiving (and I'm on Bilstein sport shocks so I'd know if they were harsh!). And like clockwork Costco has a $70 off a set of four coupon right now!
