These are the original equipment tires for my X3. I have almost 50K of mostly highway driving. The tires are a low profile ROF with a high load capacity. So they are very stiff. To be fair I have the M Sport package which may add to the rough ride. Traction is great, BMW’s are made to handle and these tires can take it. Quick maneuvers to avoid road hazards and crazy freeway drivers are not a problem. The tires stick even in quick lane changes and hard braking. They break loose gradually so I have never felt out of control. Tire wear is great. 50K on a performance tire is outstanding. I will buy another set because these are the only ones that have the ratings needed for my vehicle.
