BMW tries to have at least two suppliers for tires. Doesn't always happen, as with the i3, there's nominally only one, but initially, their expected volume for that vehicle was quite low. Seems just recently, another has shown up. The X5 has much larger volume, so being stuck with only one supplier could really hurt production/delivery from the factory if there were ever a supply issue, that, hopefully, was restricted to only one vendor.
