18 winter tire size for 320xd GT
Hi all
I had a 320xd GT (2018) for a few years now, but first time posting The car came with 2 sets of 18 alloys (original BMW), they had the same tire sizes for both winter and summer. That is front tires 225/50/r18 and rear tires 255/45/r18. The winter tires need to be replaced now, I called the BMW dealer today and they said I cant run this rear tire size, i.e. 255/45/r18. Their recommendations was to buy new rear rims and run 225/50/r18 on the rear as well. Would any of you have experience with this? We had the old winter tires for the past 2 winters with no issues, so I would be tempted to go for the same size as before. Would you have any thoughts on this ? Thanks Johannes |

As per BMW standard, for winter wheels only (is different for summer), you can't run your setup.
Long story short, for winter setup you have to have same J, same ET and same tyre size on all 4 wheels. You can check on realoem for your setup. |

On my stock 400M wheels, I run blizzak ws80 235/50/18s.
Odometer/speedometer is still slightly overstated but closer than stock. No issues and have been great for two winters. Putting them back on today for another Michigan winter |
