Conti's on 22's

HODLM · 11-28-2018, 10:05 PM

My car is a week away from being ready and it just dawned on me that I've only seen the X5 with continentals. With the M2, we joked about the Michelin / Conti lottery which I lost.

Does anyone know if BMW is putting different tires on the 22's? Or is it Conti only?

I had the same experience with the M2 (I won the Michelin lotto!)
The 22” come with either pirelli or Conti. I think the Cont are the winner in this case, at least those are what I’m hoping for.

That was my next question. What's the best SUV tire? I went through a full set of 20' Conti's on my 2016 X5 in 20,000 miles with normal driving. Not sure if that's good or bad

:

*I should clarify; I live in Miami and the car will likely never see a real winter save for a road trip.

Did you have a staggered set up?

I got about 19,000 out of my 20” Pzeros which was pretty good.

20,000 miles is actually quite good in that case. My factory RFT Bridgestones would've lasted 12k miles at best based on their wear after 5-6k miles. I sold them with my 21" wheels a while ago but my P Zero AS +'s are managing better with plenty of grip when I need it.

Picked mine up 2 days ago with contis on 22's. CA said they all came with them.

Every photo I've seen of the 22's was the Conti's, every 21 was the P ZERO summer RFT's.
