BMW X5 3.0 diesel Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the General Grabber AT3 given 90% (235-65-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 43000 spirited miles
These have been absolutely excellent. Numerically most miles generally round town and motorway, but frequent/significant grass, mud and gravel, plus hundreds of miles of snow each year (in the Alps). Also some green laning in Wales! As regards longevity, the 43,000 represents the highest figure I have ever got out of a set of tires, and it is only the fronts which are now on the limit.

Traditionally I have used Goodyear Wrangler AT's and BF Goodrich AT's (and still have a set on an Jeep CJ7 that I also use - it only does a couple of thousand miles a year so they refuse to wear out...). These were significantly more expensive and definitely no better - but they are getting old and of course tire technology is (I hope..) continuously improving each year.

I don't drive hard enough in the dry to know much about dry handling etc., but the AT3's are excellent to drive in the wet. Very good stopping distances etc. From my experience just as good as a good road tire. Noise is not a problem either.

Incredibly good in deep snow (remember the Beast from the East?) and sub zero temperatures - the best I have ever driven.

Traditionally I swap tires winter to summer (off road tires used to be a pain in summer, and I have a second set of rims...) but I have stopped bothering with summers since the last set wore out - with these there seems no point.

Highly recommended. (and no, I am not being paid to say that...)

Driving on mostly motorways for 8000 average miles
I'm only driving them now for 2 months. I had the Vredestein tires under my X5 3.0D but they were noisy. So far i love them, specially the sound and fuel consumption! Negative point: expansive to others.

Writing about the Petlas Velox Sport PT741 given 100% (235-55-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3300 average miles
I used Tirereviews to choose these tires and I don't regret. I have bought them at the beginning of the summer season 2019 for a SUV. The car stayed idle for 2-3 months (probably driven for 300 miles or so during this period), there was no need to balance the tires once we started driving more often. We drove another 3'000 miles after that and everything was fine. The tires felt just normal, no annoying sound, no problems with stability, our car is a 4-wheel drive though. So far I am happy with the tires, given that the roads in Bulgaria are not the smoothest. I would buy again.

Driving on mostly motorways for 25000 easy going miles
these tires were already fitted when i bought this used car. been using them for 32 month, done 42k so far, probably can do another 8k. really desperately want to change them because after 20k they getting really noisy, losing grip on both wet & dry. really scared when cornering over 40kmh. wont buy them again or any budget tires.

Great tire for the price, got them for 300€.
Very quite,good handling, i like the rim protection, it works perfectly when hitting a pothole or when just parking close to the sidewalks.
Will definitely buy them again.

Driving on mostly town for 15000 average miles
I am going to be totally honest about these tires.

IF like me, you have a LARGE HEAVY SUV (BMW X5) and you don't race it on the streets because you are not 19 any more... then these tires are the BEST you can buy pound for pound! They where fairly well, they dont last so long on my X5 because of the rear camber on the tires is not adjustable and there for the inner tire shoulders wear out every two years.

They do the job, they are ROAD tires, NOT off road. Even still I drove into a car part at the goodwood festival of speed that was soo muddy that they would ONLY let 4X4s park in as other cars got stuck and I was pretty worried with my x5 and its road tires competing with some Landes and serious 4x4s. I have to say, it wasnt as composed as the Discovery infront of me but... it got the job done. Was pretty proud when I jumped out and they guy in the disco said "I didnt think those things did well off road?" I said well... I was pretty nervous but... I am hear! :D
