Winter tire swap -driveablility problems
Hey guys,
Any ideas of what cause this problem... I have original 245/45/18 tires for summer tires and 225/55/17 for winter tires. Changing to winter tires the car is barely diveable and it is like "stuttering", i.e. shaking especially under acceleration. It is like the xDrive/electronics is going nuts and that the electronics somehow re-calibrates on the fly. -Would this be something simple like a bad tire/rim or could it be something else? -Anyone else experienced the same? Your solution? Thx! |

It has to be something else. My M-Sport came with 19" wheels and during the winter I also run 225/55/17s with no problems at all.

1/ make sure that you are mechanically clearing everything (like calipers and struts) and aren't rubbing
2/ make sure all four tires are identical sizes and similar wear levels. |
