Also, the 4S's (or any summer performance tire) are terrible in the cold months (had them on my F80). The compound becomes hard as a rock, and the tires slip easily. Winters are better if you you get significant snowfall, but here in PA it is pretty rare and an AS tire is a good compromise. -Mark |

Are you guys suggesting this is less useful than I'm expecting? And just throw AS's on one set? Edit: I'm really struggling to figure out best tires for the 21" wheels, so trying to put it all together. Every tire seems to have sh*t reviews for treadwear if you read long enough |

I have a second set with Michelin pilot alpins and they have been great, but they are from my F80 and I didnt know what to do with them. That is why I went AS on the X4M |

In the northeast or snowy climates, switching from summers to winters gives you the best of both needs. All season is a compromise winter and summer. Plus switching out 3 months of the year extends the useful life of the summer tires. In the end, after 3-4 years, the winter set may almost pay for themselves. EG in 4 years, either needing 3 sets of summer tires, or 2 sets summer and 1 set winters, saving money.

in the US, we have access to both the M01 as well as * BMW 265/40 and 295/35, which is why i ask which combination other people have gone with.
i’m just not sure if the 265/40 * BMW is specifically designed for the front or the rear. ive seen others that bring the rear tires to the front. if these are those tires, then thats a stupid idea and would go with M01.

I have just bought a full new set of MPS4S do my X3 M40d but the garage are saying that because of the width they will now rub on the arches at the front when turning. Is this correct? Or should 265/40/21 be ok upfront on my car?
Are there any differences to track or wheel width between the X3m and X3m40d? |

Hmm, well on my x3m Comp it certainly doesn't rub. Yours is a little higher off the ground so you should have more clearance but maybe the suspension is just that different?

any noticeable cornering issues going larger?
they sized it this way for a reason, since there is no price difference between 265 and 295, even if there was, that's still a cheap upgrade. The air is pushing the tire left and right, making it more 'square' to the rim is just adding lateral play, imho. |

For those of you running the 265/40/21 front and 295/35/21 rear PS4S, what pressures have you settled on?

Just got my new Pirelli scorpion all season tires installed.
Front 265/40/21 Rear 295/35/21 Currently running 15mm spacers all around and lowered on MSS springs. For some odd reason there's a lot of weird road noise coming from the car now. Almost sounds like wind noise. Something sounds off. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Haven't gotten an alignment yet. Also I'm not sure if anyone else has these tire sizes + the spacers. Maybe i should take them off? I'm not a tire expert so any help is appreciated! I'm thinking it could be because the tires are might be too inflated but not 100% sure. Just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar issue. |

So far i have noticed that the front is fine but i do hear slight rubbing on the rear when i hit some of the bigger dips/bumps. But the fitment looks damn good so I'm gonna leave it as is |
