Tire recommendation

One of my tires blew on my 20" summers. they are Diamaris. I don't want to buy new tires until all 4 tires are ready to be changed. Should i get one of these? Any feedback on how these tires are or recommendation on what to get?

Bad luck chigga,
That's a real shit losing one of your tyres like that.

I'm no expert but I'd be replacing both tyres and not just one. Can't comment on that Dunlop brand, but they look alright with plenty of thread left on. How much thread is left on the existing tyres?? Maybe a wheel alignment at the time of fitting whether with these ones or whatever

Dunlop SP Sport tyres have a great reputation here and comes as oem on a lot of sportscars.I just never seen them on a SUV.
Regarding the 2 links you provided and since you are only buying 2 tyres.I would opt perhaps for link #2 whichj have more tread and also more or less the same in both tyres.
On link #1,they not only have little tread left but also differ more,from one tyre to another.
I would be interested to know what those Dunlops are like on the X5!
