I have recently just changed my fronts for Pirelli All Season 275/40/22 - Rears are the stock 315/30/22 however when driving it feels like there is hesistation of rotation. Like the car has bleeps of tyre skipping.

Has anyone experienced something like this?

[kgelfen360]

I have 21 inch wheels 741m
Came with 275/40/21 and 315/35/21

What do you guys think of going with
275/45/21 and 315/40/21
This is purely because there are a lot of All Season tires available in that.

Any opinions and suggestions?

Thank you

Thinking about going this route as I need new tires. How's the setup doing? Still at stock height?

Thanks!

[mojoJJ]

I’d be interested in knowing how taller tires are performing

I have been happy with the setup. It is definitely a smoother ride than the factory setup. There is a slight loss in handling capability due to the higher sidewall so I would stick with a performance tire.
An all season tire would probably sacrifice too much for the power the X5M has.

OP, I thought about doing this but in the stock 21/22 sizes they are still really no tires available at the size above (35 and 40 sidewall instead of 30 and 35), either.

The amount of gap on these cars is stupid.....there is no reason for it and it takes away from the look. That and the quiet exhaust are the 2 things I hate the most about the X5M....I honestly which I had gone M50i at this point.

I see pirelli scorpion winters in 35 and 40 sidewall for stock competition 21/22” wheels

Winter setup in this size would sacrifice too much as well?

I am late to this party, but I think this set up looks fantastic.

100%

Any mod will always have some sort of drawback...

Does anyone know if 275/45 R20 work without problems with the 2024 x5 mc ? I can't seem to get a straight answer.

Is there a range of size combos that work with this SUV ? So the dealer option is either staggered or square
295/35R21 107V XL (Front)
295/35R21 107V XL (Rear)

or 21/22 staggered 295/35R21 front; 315/30R22 rear.

What if you go smaller to the 275/45 R20 ?

If I were you, I wont go anything narrower for front. Tire width, which impact grid, direct impact on handling and break performance. I like the 295/35R21 square setup over the stagger 21/22 setup.

[marillo]

Ok it affects performance but this is really for snow season when I don't need performance. Would it actually damage something or cause increased wear to something?

[rix5m]

I run a set of 20" Vossen's for my winters. Had no issues with it last winter and will be running them again this winter.

[marillo]

what exact size were those 20s

Let us know what you end up with.

[sarperb]

So its safe to install 295/35R 21 for both front and back? Tirerack or other sites dont provide a 315/22 option for the rear.

[marillo]

did we come to a decision on the 275/45 r20 ?

[RossMc444]

Hi All. I’m looking at a set of vossen wheels and they are sized 12x23 et30 335/30/23 and 10x22 et8 295/35/22.

Just had a look and when I need to replace the 23” rear tyre I can only seem to find 335/35/23 tyres?

Any issues with either of the above-Whats on it now and the new tyre size? I take it the wider rear tyre is no issue either?

[Jeff J]

Your original sizes, 295/35r22 and 335/30r23 are 2.7% different in rolling diameter. The conventional wisdom on this forum is a difference of more than 1% is bad for the transfer case / center diff. If you keep the front and upsize the rear to 335/35r23, that will be a 7% difference - over 2". I think either option is going to quickly wear the transfer case, particularly the larger option. I wouldn't do it.

If you really want 22/23" staggered, I would consider 295/35r22 (10.5x22) with 315/30r23 (11.5x23). Those are close enough to each other to work.

Separate question: Are those front vossens really et8? That's going to be a really aggressive fit.

[RossMc444]

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it.

Seems like these particular wheels are not an option then. My choice would be to stay sized at 21” and 22” anyways but this set come up as a good offer.

Just been looking at the options on 23” tyres and the options really are limited.
