Great! Please give us feedback on this: ride/comfort, steering feel, handling, and compatibility with the xdrive. Thank you! Also perhaps a picture of how it looks on the car. |

If you can, maybe a pic or two?
My car came with the staggered MPS4s. 8 x 8.5 19" non run flats too. Wondering if i can go 245/40/19 x 265/35/19 or just settle for the 235/40/19 in the front like you did.

What did you end up getting? Ill get my m340ix in a few days. It has the Bridgestone runflats which I plan to change to PS4S 235/40/19 and 265/35/19 right away. I want to make sure this size works. Thanks! |

Im actaully RWD, staggered setup. Car came with 225x255 MPS4S summers non run-flat.
I fitted Michelin AS4s 235x265. Took off my 15x12 spacers (front/rear).
For my taste, fitment wise, i may add 8mm spacers on the front/back for perfect fitment but it isn't too far off as is. Fronts bother me more than the back visually.
No rubbing issue at all and I immediately felt more direct steering and slightly better turn in. The car should come from factory with 235 x 265
I did take a small 300 mile road trip.
but still the tires aren't quite broken in fully so i cant expect to feel 100% of the change yet. I wanted the extra rubber for more grip so we'll see after 500 miles. Also, I have a mission performance stage 2 (roughly 480whp) on the car now and the back got squirmy a couple times during sudden acceleration in sport +/traction mode. That should change... Although these are all season tires.
I can say these tires specifically feel softer. Like pillows compared to the MPS4Ss i switched out... but this isn't a tire review.
I'll upload pics soon.
