STD 19" RFTs mileage and more
About to sign a lease for my new X5 4.0 xDrive. What mileage can I expect out of the std 19"s. And on a side note... it seems that almost every car I see offered has 20" tires. If all I care about is comfort and mileage is there something I am overlooking when going for the 19"s. Should I be convinced otherwise?

Depends on what your goal is. If its to save money and you could care less about the looks of the car 19s are fine. |

What tire you receive from the factory is a lottery but here's the list: 1. BRIDGESTONE ALENZA SPORT A/S RFT - 500AA 2. MICHELIN PRIMACY MXM4 ZP - 500AA 3. CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX SPORT SSR - 480AA 4. PIRELLI SCORPION ZERO ALL SEASON RUN FLAT - 500AA Note OEM Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Seasons R/F comes with a manufacturer road hazard policy for the first 10K miles. I've had 2 OEM Pirelli's AS RF on my MY20 40i M Sport replaced under the Pirelli road hazard warranty by my dealership. Quote:
FYI overall tire and wheel diameter is relatively the same (with in + / - 0.2") as your upgrade to 20, 21 and 22" wheel sizes. It's just the tire sidewall height is reduced when increasing wheel size. As mentioned earlier, my MY20 G05 40i M Sport with air suspension rides on 20" and it's a very comfortable ride. Other members comment the same with air suspension + 21, 22" wheel options. If you're looking at a xLine 40i, drive one with 20" and see if meets your comfort needs.
