Wheel sizes front and back

octodad · 12-09-2019, 07:24 AM

my car has the standard 245/45/19 front and 275/40/19 rear.
But this is making it almost impossible to by anything like a good all-season tyre or something like cross climate + as they stop at 245.

Anyone swapped their rears for 245/45/19 (so all round) so they have more tyre choice?
(not fancying the winter in summer tyres and don't want to have two sets so I feel like I'm stuck).

Cheers

Yes, thats a common thing to do for winter tires

Ours came with the staggered wheels and 245’s all around. Non-BMW dealer had put new tires on before we bought it, I’m sure they got a deal on the 245’s. They stretch a bit but over 10k miles with no issues.
