Very uneven tire wear X6 M50i 22"
Hi all,
My X6 M50i with the 22" staggered setup has about 15k miles on the tires. The outside of the front tires are quite worn compared to center and inside of tread. I can see a tiny bit of white string on the outside. Clearly time to replace. Is this outside tire wear normal? Can I request an alignment setting that will do less of that for when I put the next set on? OEM tires were the Conti PremiumContact 6. I am looking at putting on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S as replacements. Any reason I shouldn't? They are not an SUV rated tire per se, but I know that they come on BMW M Competition SUV's. Better ride than the Conti's?

There is no comparison. 4s are far. Far superior in every summer tires category. These are different classes of tire altogether. Contis are not performance tires.

The Michelins were not more expensive than the Conti's... seems like a no-brainer.
