X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003.

Tire size on the 4.6is

Great Googly Mooglie...

275/40/20 (f)
315/35/20 (r)

and only one tire company makes tires for the beast... Michelin. For a grand total of $1400 you too can buy a set of Michelin tires for your 4.6is.

$1400 :

And of course only one company makes tires for it. I looked on Tirerack some more and there is an optional 22" fitment... I didn't even both to look at the price of the tires because I know I'd have to mortgage my house or something to afford one set of tires.
