and 285/45/r19 in the back.

any other suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated? I would love to find a quality tire in that price range if I could (or at least below $1,000 for the set).

thanks a million again.

Where on nyc are you? Just go into any tire shop and ask what they have that's all

Want cheap- black, round, hole in the center, and will hold air?

Tire Products - Discount Tire Direct

I love the Nankang, fits rim, and holds air. What more could you ask for?
Learn More

Nankang SP-5

Second option is eBay used tires. Lots of options posted there.

That was what I was hoping for you would say.

The tire selection for your application, as stated in earlier posts, is limited due to the changing market on normal SUV tires sizing. It might make sense, LONG term, to upgrade the wheels to either the 5 spoke 4.8is wheel (Style STAR SPOKE 87) or the whole lot more spokes as found on the 4.8is wheels (style V-SPOKE 168). This would provide a larger selection of tires. All BMW wheel styles X X5-E53 | BmwStyleWheels.com

I had the same issue with my E39 528i, as it came with 15X7 wheels and the OE tire and replacements have been discontinued. The choice I have is tires from Korea or replacing all four wheels, as both Goodyear and Michelin discontinued their offerings for this application due to low demand.

This is what happens when X's become 10+ years old. Most owners of 10 year old vehicles are NOT looking for hipo performance tires, or parts to keep every feature/function operational as new. Most owners are trying to "band aid" or quick fix problems to keep running until expiration. You see them every day dragging down the hwy of short auto life -windows with plastic and tape, more body damage by neglect than if they were in a junkyard, last time washed was when it rained, etc.

We all are on this forum because we are unique owners who enjoy what we have and try to keep 'em alive. We fix what does not work, replace what wears out, some improve on electronics and style, and all of us wash, polish, and buff so that everyone we meet thinks that it is a new model
(Think: Clean = New).

Long Live the E53!

Textbook way to pay top dollar and possibly end up with old stock tires.
