(Apologies…I live over in the X3/X4 forum but I thought I’d post this here as well)
I’m not expecting a ton of feedback, but if anyone would care to weigh in re the four tire choices below. Three run flats (less than ideal but not a dealbreaker) and the Toyos Treadwear and cost are not factors, and it’s summer conditions 12 months a year here in Honolulu It’s the somewhat obscure sizes I’m going to that’s limiting my choices to these four…at least per Tire Rack 275/40/21 fr and 315/35/21 rear Thanks in advance |

I have the Continentals on my X5, same spec as you've mentioned, and to me they're just about the absolute worst tires ever put on any vehicle I've ever owned. Extremely noisy, high tread wear, and unbearably uncomfortable. I will be replacing them with the Michelin PS4 SUV ZPs this summer.
I have 3 cars in my garage and all of them run on Michelin exclusively, all year around except the X5 in the summer when it runs on the Continentals. The Michelins never had a puncture, never had an issue tbh and ride, grip, comfort, handling has been supremely beyond anything any other brand has been able to provide. I haven't heard anything good about the Toyos. The Pirelli RFTs are pretty old by design afaik. If it was me, I'd steer clear of any brand other than Michelin and Pirelli for these cars. Just isn't worth the hassle in my humble opinion.

I've had no issues with Michelins (my current winter set up) and Pirellis (my current summer set up)
