I have a X3 28i, standard 17" wheels/RFTs.

PM me and I'm happy to send you my spreadsheet so you can do your own calculations.

I used this very handy tool. Based on the following
$899 for 5 years, zero deductible, and a tire price (including tax and installation) of $435 each for (Pirelli Cinturatos), I break even after 1.62 tires. I think it's worth it.
