Dunlop vs Bridgestone (OEM 20")

Is there a consensus here on this forum as to which of the above is the better tyre? Are there any other brands to be considered?

To me Price and Treadwear is important -- since I don't track my X5. It seems Bridgestone is about 600 cheaper also last 2X long right? how bad is the performance degradation?

RFT Dunlops can be repaired and also the dunlops are quieter than the Bridgestones!

I just took the all 19" style 211 with all-season Michelin off and put on the 20" style 214 Dunlops on -- I can definitely tell Dunlops have less road noise at higher speed.
