I have the 20" Pirelli OEM RFs on my 2019 x5 x40i. Service rep was telling me they make these tires soft for good grip. BS. I bet its a good trick to milk consumers. Replace tires every year. That's a good cash flow! I will be replacing all my tires with Pirelli Scorpion Zero non-RFs from Tirerack. They come with 50k tread life warranty and free 2-year Road Hazard. From what I read on here, it'll improve ride quality too. Win-win!
I am in the same boat but less miles on my X7 right now with the 22" Conti's. Shopping for tires today and I may be able to run the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. I will find out tomorrow. If not, I will be running Pirelli. Conti disappointed me with this tire and it is definitely not wear rated properly!
