X-drive tires
Anybody running 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 tires on xdrive? If so have you had any problems with running this setup. Need to decide on some tires and looking for some help
thanks |

Analog is right. I was concerned about sizes when I was looking for staggered on my x-drive. With help from this forum I made the decision to pull the trigger. I'm running 245/285 with no problem. 255 might be too big for the front.

Still learning about tire sizes so let me know if i am looking at it incorrectly . When i plug in the diameters in 1010tires calc the OEM BMW 245/275 shows overall diameter 679.5mm/673mm(.96%) and the 255/285 shows 686.5mm/679mm(1.105%) . the difference seems pretty small.

245 and 255, in both cases with 285 in back. Both setups should work. |

Generally these setups should work, but not on an X-Drive. If the difference in overall diameters is big, then the X-Drive system would be confused and messed up.

One More question - I did the 255/285 setup. Car feels rear heavy and little sluggish. Is that normal with a staggered setup? Never did staggered before so trying to understand if staggered does that to a car compared to square setup
thanks |
