Anyone have these 275/45R/20 on their X5? Non-RF? Wondering what your thoughts are on the tire?

I don’t have these but after doing a lot of reading on 20 AS nonRF tires, imho best are Pirelli AS Plus 3 or Michelin CrossClimate 2

I once considered the CC2 and the people at the tire store said people come back and complain after 20k miles that they are horrible with noise due to their directional tread.

Get AS plus 3 then. I have had it on my previous car and now my X5 and been super happy

I’ll pop in. I put the Conti LX25 on an Acura to replace another OE Conti that I can’t recall and was super happy with the LX25 for 40k+ miles.

I put their AT tire on a new Sierra and loved them also.

Like the other premium line manufacturers, they have offerings in every price/quality/performance layer. The LX25 is superb.

I’ve only seen the Mich CC in person once but always kind of wondered about how that tread pattern would look. Or rotate.

Recently installed Pirelli AS Plus 3 on our Mercedes GLC to replace the stock RFT. Night and day difference was noted in comfort and quietness. Very pleased with this tire.

Note I have 20” RFTs and ordered a mini-spare (includes a jack). Fully intend to purchase pneumatic tires when needed.

How are yours with wear? I use to have Pirelli’s on my Audis and after 15k miles they were really bad in rain and aweful in snow (until I started switching to a dedicated winter tire).

Only time will tell. My understanding is that this is a newer tire with very good reviews.
