How do you figure? The Continental DWS has the same XL load rating as all of the OE run-flats for the X5.

Well, I was wrong - sadly have to say this. But again this is my personal experience so far.
3 days with the Toyo Proxes ST2, and they are horrible. Noisey, alot of woosh woosh noise. My alignment and balance is perfect since the car drives perfect, just all the feedback from the tire is buzzing the entire X away... good thing there is 30 day return/exchange. Now back to the drawing board, still non RFT but between Michelin or others.

Town Fair Tire, 150/tire. The tire is great and beefy, but not sure if I am liking them. My size is 255/55/18 - standard bmw 18" wheel. very noisy compared to my almost shot run flats from Bridgestone.... could be bad tire maybe since others have had a good luck with it, but then again most of the folks here are running the same tire on 20's I believe.

i'm on 19s. cheapest i can find is about $185 / tire and that is online.
did you get the XL version? you may have a bad tire, did they Road Force balance them? i'm not real noise conscious generally but compared to the wife's E90 with RFTs my X is nearly silent. |

They did roadforce balance them upon my request. The tire was listed with TownFair at 190/piece and I know the manager who is my neighbor - he sold them to me for 150.
I am wondering about a bad tire as well, I hear alot of tread noise like my wife's old Honda Pilot, it had the firestone destination LE which were terrible, felt like driving a semi truck with loud tires.
