Hi - the sex5 's front tyres are close to being finished and bmw quoted me £310 a tyre to replace the Dunlop sport maxx 275 40 20 w - the cheapest I could find them was halfrauds at £210 fitted. However the kumho and hankooks were as low as £135 fitted - are these still good tyres? Is it worth the price differential?
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks

I put kuhmo's on our E53 X5 over a year ago & have had no problems. I researched them before buying & they had a C rating throughout for economy, grip, wet conditions etc which proved better than some of the better brands & whilst I'm no expert they certainly don't give off any road noise in my view. I constantly check for uneven wear as I know X5's can suffer & so far all is good.
Even speaking to the local Bmw specialist, the guy there who runs it tends to recommend Kumho's which to me says something.
If your not on a budget then by all means choose a well known make, but if your after saving some money then do some research & definitely look at the Kumho's in my view.
At the end of the day though it's your choice .

Thanks Technomad - I have a best price of £193 fitted for the Michelins per tyre as opposed to £310 fitted for the Dunlop runflats - I presume Id have to do all 4, rather than keep the runflats on the back and go non-runflat on the front even though the backs still have a fair bit of life left in them?
Will nonrfts invalidate the warranty does anyone know?
