I looked on here and other bimmer forums but couldn't find a solid answer. I have a set of staggered 437M reps for my F32. I know you have to get tires within 1% rolling diameter to prevent xDrive issues so plan on getting 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.

I'm having trouble finding out if I can have different thread depth between front and rear axles or will this mess with the xDrive system? I found a pair of used Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 with 8/32 and plan on getting a new pair of Michelin Super Sport for the rear. Will I have problems running different model tires that have different thread depth?

The PS2 is the predecessor to the Super Sports so thinking I shouldn't have issues there and also 7/32 depth is pretty good tread for a tire so I'm thinking that should be fine too. What do people do about getting new tires in a staggered setup when the rears get eaten(other than shaving a new tires)? Anybody have experience with this issue?

when the tread depths are different it leads to difference in diameter and circumference which could lead to issues.

Wouldn't this mean that you'd eventually always get xDrive issues with a staggered setup than(even with all new tires). Since the rear wears more quickly, theoretically you'd have different thread depth after a certain amount of miles between axles.
