The 20s are still just 45 profile tires and 50 and below is what usually is referred to as low profile tires. The rather large width of 275mm up front does add some tire wall since the profile is percentage of the width but if you compare with some of the most durable and best real SUVs like the land cruiser and 4Runner you find that those come with 60 and 70 profile tires for a reason. The X5’s 45 profile tires are still to be considered fragile if you’re talking major and frequent potholes.
