When you put the sizes into a tyre size calculator for an x5 e70 the 20's are a spot on 100% match front to rear but the 19's are 0.3% out ,not a lot but if the system doesn't like anything over 1.5% difference they you don't want to be starting with an error even on new tyres which will only get wo...

Hi Alan, I put that number in realoem and its listed for an X5 E53   (01/2001 — 09/2006) X5 F15   (08/2012 — 06/2018) X6 F16   (09/2013 — 07/2018) but not an e70 though I'm sure they should all be the same fitment .The problem is the tyre may look new but could be up to 17 years old if off an e53  a...
