22 inch tyre size - need help

[Den9s]

I am looking for a new set of staggered 22" wheels for my 11' X5.
Wheels spec is 10,5x22 front and 12x22 rears.
The local tyre dealer deliver these with 295/30-22 front and 335/25-22 rear,
According to calculation this means difference in rolling circumference approx 1.4%. Isnt that too much? Will the xdrive system tolerate it?
I see alot of you guys are running this tyre option, but I need to know for sure if it is okay or not. BMW here in Norway says no.

Those are what I use. Pirelli Scorpion Assymetrico?

[Gatoferoz25]

Same here PIRELLI SCORPIONS ZERO same specs

[Den9s]

U guys never had issue with the converter for the x-drive?
Swapped mine last year, and they said it was damaged due to difference in rolling circumference. Is this just bulls#it?

I'm running the same Pirelli tires as well. My understanding was this difference is within tolerance. What is the difference between front/rear on a stock X5M?

[X Driver]

When tires are new its 0.06%..

[Den9s]

So 295/30-22 and 335/25-22 should be no problem?

[X Driver]

I think not, they have about 1,5%, not as good but I think it should be fine..

VREDENSTIEN best tire ever.(for a max summer SUV tire)

If you email and tell them your specs you have and the tire you desire they will elaborate on which will best fit your X5.

I have .04% rolling difference

Have tried out Vredestein, 295/30 and 335/25 they have about an inch in rolling difference, why does not the tyre manufacturer produce tires in 285/30 (except pirelli)
I think 285/30-22 and 335/25-22 will be the best option, 0,2% difference..

[theaudir8fan]

actually there are a couple of companies that makes 285/30, conti DWS and yokohama something, but non of them make a 335/25 at the same time

Pirelli PZEROs in the 285/30 and 335/25 combo is not cheap. Arguably the best though

Pirelli Scorpion 285/30 was discontinued, I managed to find 4 pieces brand new and make up my set with 335/25 on rear.

[Den9s]

Probably cheaper to go with correct tire sizes, then having the converter changed, so I will try getting hold of some 285 for the fronts

any issues with these? Are spacers needed at all on anything?

[Travis1807]

Go with the Vreds! I had them on a 900hp Jeep SRT8 and they where night and day better then anything else I had previously, which included a variety of nittos.

They won't kill your wallet either.
