Thanks a lot for your responses. @greydog yep it’s the 20 inch staggered setup running Bridgestones which I checked are for this model. I’ll take your advice though and speak to the Dunlop guys. but you know the biggest issue I have is you never know 100% until you’ve opened the check book. Would make me feel more comfortable if someone would prove what they are telling me up front then I would not mind paying the cash.

Hi everyone, looking for some opinions and to see if anyone else has experienced similar issue. Based in Dubai just bought 2014 X5 as had previously owned F15 3l diesel 2016 in UK. Wife loved it so thought I go for similar here. Long story short car was bought from auto mall not main dealer but has main dealer extended warranty. The car has excessive road noise which increases in volume with speed. It’s running on continentals but comes new with Dunlops. Mail dealer have looked at it and said uneven tyre wear all 4 tyres to be replaced at nearly 10000 AED for the set. The set of tyres I got with the car all seem fine and I’m used to people trying to fleece me here all the time so I have no trust in BMW given other issues I have had with them here. just wanted to get some feedback from other members who have this model to see what tyres they are running and what difference in road noise they have experienced with different brands. to be honest not convinced it is the tyres as it’s more like a droning rubbing noise but BMW are adamant and the balance and alignment have all been checked. any guidance greatly appreciated
