20 inch all season tyres for X5??

[Billy_Whizzzz]

Struggling to find cross climate or similar tyres that are available for both front and rear in 20inch for my X5 - front 275/40 and read 315/35. Would like a really good all season such as Michelin Cross Climates but they only do fronts. Any thoughts?

Tricky one, especially given the staggered set up you should (in theory) use BMW Approved (star marked) tyres for the X Drive.

I actually went for smaller 18s in the end which are a square set up - Michelin Cross Climate 2 (non run flat).

Anyone any thoughts on staggered set up for 20”?

What about getting a square set of alloys and use them for dedicated wheels and winter tyres?

You may struggle to get the tyres you want as they don't do all sizes

But I'd also recommend looking at the Goodyear Vector 4Season Gen 3s too. The Vredestein Quatrac Pro's are good tyres too; my pal has them and thinks highly of them; drives a lot in Germany and they get much colder temps than we do and he's had no issues at all

Have you looked at the usual suspects (Camskill, MyTyres, Tyreleader etc)? Personally I avoid Blackcircles etc as have always found them to be a complete rip off...

Asda Tyres can be good however; that's where I've sourced my Goodyear all seasons from this time around - £75 cheaper than Camskill which is rare TBF

I run an F25 35d and from new I bought a dedicated set of winter wheels and tyres which I have replaced over time.

Mu local BMW dealer used to store the wheels for me and charge £10 a month which included switching them over. That ended last year and I have changed the wheels once myself - a pain in the backside and not something I really want to do.

I have 275 on the rear, 245 on the front, the winter are all 245. I have used run flat given where we live and I can realistically only get these in Pirelli.

I would prefer to morph to all season on the 275 and 245 setting with run flat and get rid of the winter wheels and tyres but they don't exist.
