Hi Alan
I'm affraid so all Bridgestone RFT to the X5 seem to be troublesome with noise - I too will be interested to see how you get offwith your Dealer to change & fit Dunlops and certainly interested to hear fom anyone else that has made the change and whats the difference.. Good Luck

If you are leasing the car you have to return it with the same type of tires that it came with -same size, RF-brand name doesn't make a difference (at least with BMW Canada).A few guys here replace the RF's with regular tires to improve the noise/ride quality problem and they put them back on the car upon lease end.

I think its the Bridgestone RFT are the problem as people with Dunlop or Goodyear RFT do not seem to complain about the noise
I will definately change to non run flats when these tyre wear out as the 'din' type of noise is aweful

there is no noise issue with my 2008 x5 4.8 with sport Package and 214 rims and 20. The oem Dunlop RFT is quiet, but I know if you have a oem bridgestone 20 RFT. They have noise issue. You can swap out your RFT and installed a non runflat, they will be quieter than the RFT same profile. and have a slight softer ride than RFT. Just make sure you have a backup plan in case of a flat! I hope this help
