Hey guys, gone from x5 4.4 to x3 2.0d, didn’t know about how picky these were with tyres, what are people running on theirs? Mine are 235/55/17
... in my opinion... stick to the OE size and speed/load rating.. any good quality brand name all-terrain or winter tire (depending on your driving requirements)
... forty-three years of driving before I get behind the wheel of a BMW .... and I am thinking, "why did it take me so long?"
... and then after another 4 years I can't believe that I have two of them !!
+1 with the above user. You can use whichever tires you had on the X5 on the X3.

So stick with 235/55/17? I bought it used and that’s what’s fitted, and all 4 tyres are different, can I use other makes instead of the bmw approved ones so long as they are the right size? I read they had to be bmw approved or risk damaging the transfer box
bmw approval would not extend to brand name, but certainly would apply for size and speed/load rating...
- so stick with the 235/55R17 - lots of good brand names out there, but don't shop just based on price
- and get four new ones all at the same time
I have TOYO Open Country HT for my 3-season tires and have been very pleased...
My winter tires are BFGoodrich Winter Slalom and are also very good... a little noisier than the TOYOs but much better in the snow

Thanks for the reply, so would I be looking for 235/55/17 and what else? 103 xl is that the other info I need on them, thanks
