I run summers on my car all year long since I live in California & don't drive in the rain. So I'm not sure if they offer the M01 spec in an all-season version. But since this front & rear tire combo is one MB & Porsches, I would assume maybe there "is" an all weather version. However, I don't believe I ever saw them on the Tire-Rack for reference. So maybe I'm wrong & just have old info available in me memory bank. Sorry I wasn't much of a help in that regard.

Summers are fine/good in the rain.

What if it’s non stock wheels 21x9 with 20 offset ?

Another 265/295 owner chiming in. Got the factory tires replaced on Friday with a set of the MP4S's and the dealer actually suggested moving to the 265/295 combo.

They have 2 other X3M customers and have installed them on those 2 cars and gotten positive feedback from the owners which is why they recommended them to me. I was already aware of the swap from the forums here so I was going to have them do it anyways.

I can 100% confirm that the ride quality is much better. Very impressed and the visual change is bigger (in a good way) than I thought.

265 is the max. recommended width for a 9" wide wheel. I wouldn't run a 295 on 9".

Did they put the BMW star spec ones on?

Ah good catch. Curious too.

[NoTanks52]

Are tire specs the same regardless of being lowered or not?
My X3M is stock height, asking so I don’t end up with more gap than expected

Newbie here - just switched from oem 255/265 CSC6’s to M01 265/295 - early days but I thought rear tyres were noisier but then pulled luggage over and that observation was dashed.

Surprisingly EPS feels sharper and more direct so far…

There is a star on the side of the tires. Is that what you're referring to?

[M4Lou]

Here's a pic - curious especially on the 265 fronts.

Find it fascinating that the dealer recc'd this.

Yeah

There has been a general consensus in this thread to use the Mercedes tires because those are a factory front and rear setup. The star BMW ones are the 265 being the rear tire of an X3M and the 295 is the front tire of an X5M. So when they're installed on an X3M they're on the "wrong" axles.

If you haven't noticed any issues then that is good news for the group in general.
