I like. Too bad I just bought staggered 22 all-season tires.

The Bentley pirellis? How are they?

My question is should I go square or should I get the wider 315's in the back like the summer set? Is the squared route only better because you can rotate the tires? Is it because they are a bit less wide so technically a better winter tire? Does anyone know if the square setup looks goofy on the wider rim, even though it technically fits?

I've this set up with 9,5/10,5J x 22 with PSW 275/35 R 22 front/rear.

Very nice. Are there any negatives from running 275/35 on the 10.5 rear wheels?

Pirellis weren't in stock. Went with the Nitto. Haven't gotten them installed as yet, they just arrived the other day. Several forum members have tried them with positive reviews.

They're 275s and 315s? I only knew about the pirellis for all season staggered.

No problem, but look out for curbs ...

Can we use 285/35-22 instead of 275/35-22?

dananelson1 · 12-09-2021, 01:43 PM

Looks very clean! Do you have any spacers on?
And, same question as above, did you or anyone try/ask/think about 285/35/22 (only downside is speedo will be very slightly off).

I have mounted 12mm spacers on the rear wheels. My dealership allowed only standard tire size.

Haha thanks. Just ordered Pilot Sport All Season 4 in 275/35/22 for all corners

Edit: Adding pics after the install. My car came with the Continentals which I think look chubbier than the Michelins. The rears do look a little funny, but all things considered I don't mind now that I can go snowboarding.

Yes! The Contis are chubby ... Seems like the Michelin are more stretched than the Pirellis?

Good question, I'm not sure. But looking at the pics of your setup, the Michelins do look more stretched in comparison to Pirelli.

I've put on about 700 miles on the Michelins and am happy to report that they have exceeded all of my expectations. Compared to the stock Continentals, the Michelins feel much more responsive. The ride is firmer, which is how I prefer it, but might not be for everyone. I drove about 400 of those miles in winter conditions, ranging from cold and dry (15F-35F), icy, and light snow on freeways and mountain roads. The Michelins were impressive, no drama, and I was able to easily tell what was going on traction wise. Michelin if you're reading this please make a 315/30/22. These tires are the perfect match for the X5!
