BMW X5 Tyres

Changed the run flats on my 2008 BMW x5 to toyo proxy st front and rear partly due to price (half the cost) and firm ride. Very pleased with improved ride quality and no loss in grip wet or dry. Over 7000 miles later and minimal wear showing. Should easily get over 20000 miles all 4 tyres. A friend got over 30000 miles from these tyres on his vw touraeg.

Wear rate is relatively high but they are on an E70 X5 BMW so really shouldn't complain - very little else to choose from in this size and keep ROF tyres so have gone again for the same.

They wear uniformly and keep their grip right down to the wear markers. Have been impressed with the wet weather grip and they aren't too bad ride comfort wise for a 20" ROF tyre - would recommend in total.

Using the tyre in tropical country (Malaysia) on my X5 E73, was driving at about 70-80kmph on wet road, making an easy corner, the car lost grip and skidded and hit a curb and it cost me a rim. Recently was driving on wet on a interstate highway at about 110-120kmph on a perfectly straight road, the car suddenly lost control almost hit to the divider, thank God I managed to steer it back to the left and the car cuts thru 2lanes and gain back control on the emergency lane on the left. Thank God the other cars on the road managed to avoid me. The 4 Michelin are quite new, just replaced 7-8 months ago did about 10k km. Really need a new tyre that can help against aquaplaning.
