tire question, need advice!!

[psychowu]

Hi, I have a set of antera 341 20 inch rims and would like to know what tire size is best for that rims on a 2001 X5 4.4 with no sport package. The shop I bought the tire/rim package from put 275/40 ZR 20 P Zero Rosso all around but the rear tires always ran out quickly (lasts only 4000 miles) and I'm wondering if they have put the wrong size tires on the rear or not cuz when I did a search on tire rack it said it is 275/40 20 on the front and 315/35 20 in the rear (for X5 4.6) Should I stick with 275/40 20 all around or change my rear tires to the recommand tire size on tire rack. (by the way, i have AC Schnitzer suspension installed on my X). Thanks!

275/40R20 all around is what we normally recommend.


275/40R20 front and 315/35R20 rear come stock on the 4.6i, which you can do if your wheels sizes/offset allow, but keep in mind this won't help any with tread wear and will limit tire selection further and be mroe expense. Also the recommended min rim width for that large 315/35R20 is 10.5".
