2016 550i tire size

hey everybody, anybody see a problem running 255/40/19's MPSS square instead of the OEM runflats front 245/40/19 rear 275/35/19? I have spare set of MPSS's sitting in my garage that are pretty new from my previous Audi.

While I haven't seen this that I recall, 255/40/19 on your 19x8.5" and 19x9" wheels should be fine. The recommended wheel width for that tire size is 8.5-10", so you're good there. Your speedometer likely will be pretty close rather than 2-3% fast due to the slightly taller rear tires. I wouldn't buy this combo, but if I had the tires in the garage, I'd install them.

Thanks for the info! As soon as the runflats are done, I'll throw them on. It would be such a waste of a really nice set of tires.
