Is it me, or the factory P-zeros are awful?
Just switched back earlier today from my winter tires, and put on the factory P-Zeros. The car just feels weird with them, it feels like its pulling in every direction and the steering feels loose. It didn't happen with the winter tire setup.

P Zeros? They're not awful. My only issue is that they wear out way too quickly. Were just fine on my 469 wheels when I first bought my X5.

I think that’s a runflat tire characteristic, I’ve experienced it with Pirelli, Dunlop and now the PSS (not a RFT, but behaves like one).
If you want to have a ride like the winter tires or better, swap to the Conti DWS 06, it’s a huge improvement. |

I think you can size down on the 20s for PSS to get them to work.
I had 20" P-Zero and they lasted exactly 9k miles. They were noisy and were a little harsh on the ride. In the last month, I moved to 21" OEM-sized PSS and they are wayyyyyy less noisy, ride smoother, and provide as good if not better grip. I will never buy Pirelli ever again.

I had run flats on the 2015 50i and they wandered terribly. Took them off after 1000 miles and replaced them with nons. Problem fixed. My 20” Pirelli’s lasted 16,000 miles. Zero issues. 8,000 miles on my winters. Zero issues. Just put on my new 21” M PSS on Vossen’s. They are killer. Best tire all around for me.

I just put on new Pirellis. My first set lasted for 32k miles, until they started to crack and metal wires were showing.
As soon as I put on the new pirellis I felt the car was driving all over the road and swaying side to side. They are slowly getting better with some driving, but I agree that handling is not amazing with them and I feel the tires roll. After some hard turns I always see road marks on the sidewalls which confirm that the tires are rolling too much. They are very comfortable though!

Michelin is the best! Now with 20 inch wheels you can get the Michelin pilot sport 4s. The rear tires are being released May 11 in my market. Michelin is expanding their size range. Already ordered a set. Just be prepared for the higher premiums

i have nothing but bad to say about p zeroes. they r not as grippy as the mpss, and wear so quickly.
yes, i have experienced small potholes causing steering correction as the car is disturbed. i dunno if they r the tires or the fact that this car has such beefy widths to begin with.
