Sadly Michelin don't make a non rf 225/50/18 Xclimate and don't anticipate making them but they have told me that they are about to launch a dedicated tyre for the f48.
This is the letters I received from my enquires to them this week:
Regarding to query about MICHELIN tyres for BMW X1.
Unfortunately at the moment we don't have tyre for your BMW.
However we are launching MICHELIN Primacy 4 which is homologated for BMW. The manufacture starts at July and it takes few months till the tyre is available. It provides more comfort for every day driving compared to MICHELIN Pilot Sport which is sportier tyre.
—————————————
Difference between MICHELIN Primacy 4 and MICHELIN Primacy 4 * is BMW marking. Special marked tyres are designed with the car make.
Homologation refers to the technical authorization of a tyre for a certain car model of car. The whole authorization process is very strictly controlled by the car manufacturers, and around 60 individual checks come into consideration. Every authorization signifies a confirmation of quality for the tyre manufacturer. In Germany, where the manufacturers are particularly demanding, Michelin are authorized for all manufacturers for almost every profile.
Because you have very special car with sDrive technology we only recommend to mount homologated tyres to compliment your cars performance and to sure your safety.
