        Got mine from camskill, toyo. Sounds like you need four wheel alignment done. Mine tends to wear the rears on the inner edge due to the camber!

          do the X5s suffer from brake fade

            If the wife only did the shopping , instead of the here there and everywhere it would be all right . They will need doing in around 6 weeks , and with the baby in the car , I thought I would start looking . They are run flats also . Just the front 2 .

                My daughter has an X5,she bought it at 5k miles ,and was 2nd owner.The Dealer in Harrogate that she bought it off always puts larger wheels on and,hers has 20inch tyres on.It has done nearly 13K now but all the tyres are very good,and must have about 6mm of tread on yet,so it does not eat tyres,and she does not spare the horses.The only problem we have is that it has a noisy ,front N/S wheel bearing,but Victoria Motors in Harrogate will not do the warrenty work and replace the bearing as they say these cars are calibrated on the ECU with only standard wheels and tyres on ,so will not replace the bearing under the warrenty.Think they are taking the pi** !

                  Not cheap for 20" run flats Alex.

                  I get mine from Gates Tyres in Carlisle (speak to Andrew) he does good deals.

                  My tyres are Bridgestone 275/40 R20 run flats
                  Cheers

                          Think these will be the ones , half the price. The car has the pms fitted also and can put some tyre weld in the storage in the boot . Anything happens she has her BMW SOS button fitted in the car , so they would come out . Cheers Alex

                            My missus had a mini a while back and i am sure i was told there was a reason why run flats should be refitted and not standard ...Probably because standard ones don't cost enough and they were trying to have me over!!..The price of tyres for modern motors is absolutely outrageous!
