Tire wear on X5s
Hello -
The X5 and the E39 5 series (that would be the 1997 - 2003 5er) wear through the inside tread of the rear tires in about 30k miles or so in my experience.
BMW does not recommend rotating the tires, mainly because the handling is really squirrely until the tires take to the new position.
The tradeoof for the tire wear is really good handling. If you can afford the car, you can afford the tires....
