Best AS non-RF options for 2015 X3
So i drive a 2015 X3 xDrive28i and had Pirelli Cinturato (245/R50-18) All-Season Run-Flats installed as part of the CPO purchase.
Its time to switch the tires and I am planning on getting All season non-RFs to improve the drive and lifetime of the tires. I am also thinking of getting Touring tires in order to get better lifetime(unless someone can convince me that some performance tire will have similar lifetime) I have done some research and short listed the following options: 1. Continental PureContact 2. BridgeStone Turanza QuiteTrack 3. Michelin Primacy AS 4. Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season TireRack gives the following ratings: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/surve...l&cameFrom=TSR I am in California(Silicon Valley) where it does not snow. But I do travel a lot to places where it rains/snows so i would like to stick to all-seasons. I am mainly looking at - Comfortable/responsive drive but with good cornering performance. I would rate myself as a relatively sporty/spirited driver especially on mountains/winding roads - Relatively longer tread life Would appreciate any help in deciding between these options along with some reasoning. Thanks. Last edited by auny87; 02-01-2021 at 12:23 PM.. Reason: Adding link |

I bought the Michelin pilot sport 4 all season. I love them. Non rft. Ride is much smoother. I think it had a 40k mile warranty? Either way, I am extremely glad to have purchased these tires. No buyers remorse.

I just went through this debate several months ago.
Ended up picking the Kumho Ecsta PA51 (review link: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...del=Ecsta+PA51) instead of the other choices. Excellent reviews and price point, and they're decent in the blizzards we've had recently.

Made in S. Korea, they balanced perfectly and are (minimally) wearing very nicely. Got mine at Discount Tire. Currently $158 each, or $30 cheaper than the Contis which are also great tires. But saving $120+ is pretty nice too. YMMV
