Tire fitment issue
Hi!
I have a little dilemma about tire fitment for my x5. Due to a shortage of 22" winter tires i was 'forced' to order alternatives. OEM size is: 275/35 R22 & 315/30 R22. So for the front i bought 265/35 R22 and for rear 315/35 R22. They hasn't been tried on yet. And i am hesitating should I try them on or just send it back to the shop. Could you advice me about this setup? Does anyone have a similar experience? Thanks in advance, Jakub |

I highly recommend you send the 265/35 and 315/35 set back to the shop. OEM 275/35R22 = 29.6" and 315/30R22 = 29.4" or difference of 0.2" / -0.7% Tires you've purchased 265/35R22 = 29.4" and 315/35R22 = 30.7" or difference of 1.4" / 4.4% Front and rear tire aspect ratios can be identical if using a square setup. Front and rear tire aspect ratios can't be identical using a staggered setup.

1) send back those tires 2) buy 285/35/22 winter tires f/r for square setup (basically same diameter of stockers). these tires run on rim widths from 9.5"-11". why you guys run 315s for winter driving idk. https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tires.j...omCompare1=yes 3) enjoy winter driving
