If you mean in a rural area, away from tire stores, then I agree. However, that is why you have BMW Roadside service, they will pick up the car and haul it to a dealer for you.

Up and down I-5 in the west is not a concern. In June I was driving Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. I would need to count on roadside assistance as I saw no RFT there. Even with roadside asistance it still could be time for someone to get to you. I assume not many X5 really get far off road. The XC90 and MDX both have 3rd row seating but as far as I know no RFT. If you do not opt for third row seating I wonder if a temp spare is an option. It seems like for some countires it may be.
Otherwise there is nothing about the E70 that I dislike.
