Considering i got 13K miles from my tyres (front 275/40/20 106w) its not too bad, bearing in mind its mainly done school run with my wife being the main driver. However they are expensive compared to Bridgestone run flat, have been told breaking performance are less responsive in wets, but seriously considering Bridgestones as they are also recommended by BMW.

Superb tyres had them on my X5 2009 for 32000 and still have 3.5 mm left in snow absolutely brilliant. Last winter never had issues travelling between Nottingham and Highlands in Scotland.
Exceptional in wet good all round tyre.

Good tyres that were standard on the 20 inch rims. A little dissapointed as to wear as they are low (very near replacement) at 19800 miles.

Generally pls'd with the performance, but the wear rate considering my wife uses our X5 for the school run is appaling. 12k miles and all 4 tyres need replacement (275/40 R20s on the front included).

Had Diamaris all round which were fine for 3 years, but budgets got tight, and ?250 per coner for Mitchelin was steep.
So choose the General Grabber UHP. They looks good, rougher/tougher more , agressive and I paid (17/3/09) almost ?500 fitted for 285/45/R19 W at back and 255/50/R19 W at front.
First I noticed the road noise is greater than the Diamaris and then as they wear they went out of balance quite badly.
However, 15 months & 27000 miles later there is still pleaty of tread on th front pair, but the rear pair were almost due for replacement 14 months & 25000 mile.
So one last road trip and at 27000 mile the rears' outside edge still had 4.5mm of tread and the middle 3.2mm, but major inner shoulder wear, due to the X5 negative camber for road holding, they demanded replacement.
All in all not bad alternative to Diamaris, better for off road, noiser on road, prone to balancing issue during wear. Will wear quicker on the rear but you'll save ?300 ~400 fitted.

Have had the car straight from the showroom 18 months ago, but have only done approx 10, 000 miles and need 4 new tyres. Can't believe that these tyres have only lasted this long!
My wife mainly drives this car, school runs and to and from work. The tyre sizes are 275x40x20 for the front and 315x35x20 for the back, all Dunlop SP Sport max run flat tyres. Will now switch to Bridgestone and see how I go with these.

Only downside is that they are becoming expensive for their grouping.
