x5 tyre recommendations

[Glasgowrob]

looking for a bit of advice, looking for tyres for our X5.

275/40/20 front 315/35/20 rear and ideally not runflats any suggestions for something decent without being silly?

Falken are pretty good without breaking the bank. Have a look at Camskill, their prices are generally very good.

I fitted non-runflat, non-star marked tyres on mine and within a fairly short time, I noticed noise which wasn't there before. Seems it was transfer box related, so I went back to star marked and the noise disappeared. I was very sceptical about the whole star marked tyres issue, but found out the hard way !

Yes, be very careful of your tyre choice with regard to the transfer box issue!!!

Tyres are really subjective - a lot of it is personal preference or what you want out of a tyre. If you say which of these are more/less important to you we'll be able to suggest a bit better. Peak grip, progressiveness, feel, wear rate, fuel economy, noise, price, wet weather grip.

I went for Falken ZE914 because they have a stiff sidewall which gives me great feeling and progressiveness for a really good price. There are tyres which will give me more ultimate grip but I never drive fast enough to warrant sacrificing on the price and wear rate.

Falkens on mine. No issues.

Especially for a staggered set up, star marked tyres are a must. Stick to RFT/Star Marked if you have a warranty,

Are there any non run flat star marked tyres that fit the 20" wheels?

I thought the Michelin Latitude Diamaris did, but it doesn't look like they have the correct load rating for the fronts (102 vs 106).

Did you find any? I'm looking for the same for mine rear tyres?

No. I gave up.
