BMW recommend replacing tires at 3 mm tread is what I was told. This is my first experience with all wheel drive and run flat tires. My X5 is only a year old but 29000 miles (we've traveled places  I somehow settled for replacing just the two rear tires for total cost 752$ with installation. I hope I did not get screwed (my tire is screwed for sure) |
I've gotten flats before on my previous 2017 X5, always just replaced the one that had the flat. Never heard of having to replace all 4 if only 1 needs replacing. If they are recommending you get 4 new tires due to the tread being low, that is another story.
