There is a reason they are "$300 per".

Crappy tires are crappy tires... its funny, but price has a way of following tire performance.

I got 32k on my first set, seems a pretty decent value to me.

Very true Ard, but I am talking about the Bridgestones RFT from BMW, that have really terrible reputation not only on the X5 but all across other vehicle brands as well. My tires have about 20K on them and they seem to have a bit of good tread on them but they are loud, no cupping found, etc.

I am not a fan of bridgestone from the start, i prefer something more better than them. Michelins are indeed the best, Agree with you there - but not willing to pay that price at this time, my own reasons and choice. So I am leaning towards either Toyo's or another reliable brand that is within my budget. Plus there is a nice tear in the middle of my front right tire which is not safe for long term.. Here in MA, the roads are more pathetic and have more potholes than the craters on moon or another planet, so a tire ends up taking a good beating even when being very cautious.
