just ordered some Vredestein Sessanta tires.
 

tired of paying $1600+ for michelin Diamaris every freaking 8-10K :rolleyes:

anyone get these tires? I read some reviews online and they seem solid. I was able to get it for $890 shipped from california to Florida :thumbup:

Quite a few on this forum have them, I haven't heard any bad reviews yet. Waiting for some higher mileage reviews of them... hint-hint! :D

OH yeah!!

Big Fan Here!

take a peek!

So far so good! I'll give you an update in 10k! LOL!

I love the tires, do a search, I wrote a small reflection on the handling dynamics of them

wow Diamaris every 8-10K ?

is that normal?

I have been rocking them for quite some time. Still very very happy.

some have gotten more like 12k, a couple even 15k, but for most here in florida we have not gotten better than 8-10k :dunno:

I think you need to check your tire pressures more often, mine got 15k rear and 20k front with very hard driving

10K miles, you must be joking! I am still on the original set of Michelins, 19" Sport Wheels, and just about to pass 40,000 miles! I had them tested at a tyre shop and they still have 3mm tread, and passed the MOT.

I don't potter about but do keep an eye on the tyre pressures. I use 32psi all round to avoid the bald strip in the centre. The difference could be that it is a 3.0 diesel so less power maybe, but how do you smoke the tyres on an X5 anyway? Have you checked your alignment, it sounds like the wheels are pointing in 4 different directions!
