So may variables... Will depend on the grip levels of the rear tyres, and how much xDrive is required to transfer a high percentage of the torque to the front wheels.

You mention running 275 section on the rear. You could have a softer compound on the wider section, often the case, can be the way to improve the level of grip on a wider tyre, compared to a 'normal' width. Tyre width in itself doesn't necessarily mean there is more traction grip.
