Pirelli Scorpion tyres are excellent on my BMW X3.

My BMW X3 2.0 xDrive has covered 48,500 miles since new and is still running on the original Pirelli Scorpion STR 235/55 R17 99H tyres, which I am about to replace with the same specification of Pirelli. I remember reading a few years ago that you recommended this tyre for the BMW X3 and I can certainly endorse your comments. I have been a driver for over 50 years and have never had a set of tyres last so long.

That's excellent. Partly because of your careful driving. Partly because of the tyres. And partly because some (but not all) 4WDs undergo comprehensive alignment at the end of the production line. With standard cars this can be very cursory.
