Joining the club soon. I'm having 265/40-21 and 295/35-21 PSAS4's installed at Tire Rack (their HQ is 15 min from my house) on 6/23. Looking forward to the wider rubber and reliable 3-season usage (I have dedicated snow tires/wheels). I figure the wider rubber will likely make up for any traction/handling losses from going to an AS tire. I don't drive at the limits anyway.

Wondering what others have experienced… I did this mod with PS4AS tires for the mid atlantics mild (but too cold for summers) winter. It felt like it completely destroyed the cornering ability of the car. It only wanted to go in a straight line and felt like the nimbleness was completely gone…..
Is this the PS4AS in general, or the wider tires? I'm inclined to blame the width

I am surprised to read your opinion on the 265/295 setup. I have not seen anybody else report a negative opinion on this combo. I have yet to need a tire replacement so its good to know there are opposing opinions out there on this. Thanks for the feedback

Same here. Now I am a bit nervous about getting this combo installed tomorrow.

Anyone notice more rock chips than expected with the wider tires and spacers (for those that got them too)? Wondering if I should ppf the rear panels too (looking to get at least the entire front, hood, and bumper ppf'd).

I'm very happy with the new tires, so far (PSAS4's). No complaints at all. Handling feels great, the ride is just slightly softer (in a good way), and I haven't noticed any change in gas mileage (a small concern I had with putting more rubber on the road).
Here is a pic of the rears. I am not using any spacers. |

For some reason Discount Tire only carries the rear BMW star spec. Not a big difference besides the rubber composite and I think it's similar to the GL63. I spent $3160 on the 892s. Didn't really like the aftermarket selection and if I wanted to sell the 892s it wouldn't be a problem getting rid of them.

Close to ordering a 2023 X4 with the jet black 20" wheels. Will the tire size upgrades listed above work well with 20 inch wheels? Thanks for your feedback!

I recently put on the 265/295 combo with Michelin pilot as4s and can positively say it really improved the ride dramatically. No more harsh choppiness on bumps. Much smoother ride. Got rid of every rock and pebble sticking to the tire. I'm very happy with them. The car should have came stock like this! Here is a pic of the rear and side profile with the 295s.
