So you are running a staggered setup! What is the reason for those who wish to run square setups? Is it just for snow purposes?

Hi
Important!

What my setup is not relevant for you IF something's goes wrong.
Safe philosophy for you is to go with the same setup front back.

Tip:
Exchange/ distribution transmission gearbox maybe need to change oil more frekvent than it says in BMW documents
Better safe than sorry....
Goes for the engine as well in my opinion.


Snow purpose:
My thougths on this is that in normal day drive you can not notice the difference with 225 vs 255.
I did se a test setup on different summer tires setup
The expert were able to tell a small difference in lap times.
1 or 2 sec in difference I think it was.
Search on YouTube and make your opinion on your own is my best advice

Nice day to you Sir
