Other tires besides Dunlop?!?!

I would love to get away from the Dunlop runflats and the $2200+ cost to replace them, but no one else makes these stupid tire sizes for the BMW 21 inch wheels for our X. 325/30-21 and 285/35-21

I guess BMW has a deal with Dunlop...it's kind of ridiculous that if you want the BMW 21 inch wheels you only have one tire brand to choose from!

You're paying for a lot of rubber! Have you checked tirerack.com?

Do you need the tires replaced already? or just planning ahead.

Just planning ahead. I have less than 2K on them now.

with 11,600 miles on my 20" Dunlop RFT's they are VERY noisy (think big old truck noisy) and the inner bands of the rears are almost to the cords...

At least I have some options, but not many in RFT and I don't need all season capabilities....may have to switch to non-rft's.

Continental doesn't ahev a fitment for 21"s. My buddy has them in 22" non-rft on his X. 4,000 and very quiet still.
