I have not personally purchased from TireRack, but friends have and report good things.
I have bought from Costco and it was pretty smooth.

Research at TireRack, purchase at Costco. Costco will give you total price on the web that includes installation, balance, road hazard insurance, etc. In my experience, the Costco price in the end usually beats all others. However, they only carry Michelin (the best choice IMO) and Goodrich. http://tires.costco.com/TSSapp/TireLanding.xhtml BTW, my bro has an X5 and likes the very cheap Kumho's he has on it.
Costco is very good when shopping around for tires. I have gotten my tires replaced for my 2005 Mercedes ML350, 2002 Mercedes S430 and my 2006 BMW 525i. They have premium tires.
For an X5 I would recommend the Cross Terrains. I have had these on both my Jeep and my Mercedes. They are probably the best all season tires.
Costco prices average 200 dollars cheaper than any retailer and they also nitro inflate your tires

I would only contribute that you DO NOT have to put the run flats back on the bmw per the lease agreement.

Costco would not install non-RFT onto a car that has RFT and no spare. That has been their response here at my local Costco in No. CA
Could anyone tell me if they have had non-RFT installed at Costco w/o a spare tire. My 07 530 SP does not come with a spare.

I am a huge fan of Discount. I think their prices are good plus for only $20 you get road hazard insurance. Since I have low profile tires, this is a must. I have already sent back 1 tire after some damage after a pot hole.
