Good feedback. I like that tire as well, it is the best runflat one can buy. IMO


I get ~45k on mine, but I am a stickler on alignments. Also, since it doesnt rain, if I approach 4/32 and it is entering the CA summer, I am fine running them to the bars.


And your wife is talking crazy.....

I ditched the RF's on my previous X5 with 3rd row and just kept a can of fix-a-flat in the boot cubby. Luckily we never had a flat even with crap Michigan roads. Much cheaper and quieter. My new X5 is not 3rd row and has a spare. Currently the as purchased tires are big $$$ Michelin's but I plan to downgrade when the time comes. We ran Mastercraft Courser's on the old X5 and they were great.

This brings up an interesting point ... I just purchased a 2013 E70. Which tire mentioned do you like of the above mentioned? How do I know if I have run flats on my E70. Run flats and no spare are all new to me as I'm coming out of an E39...
Thanks in advance!
Give up racing???!!! What does she mean? That's just "flat out" crazy!!! LOL

I only see one tire but anyway, it's the Michelin Latitude Tour HP ZP. Great tire, excellent run flat. If you want a fantastic conventional tire, the Michelin Premier LTX has been very impressive. I have a 2011 X5d with 255/50R19.

Run flat tires should have an RSC designation on the sidewall.
