Just ordered PA4 in 265/30/20 and 285/30/20 as per BMW recommended sizes. Unfortunately, the selection of winter tires in this size is very limited and I was unable to find a good deal for aforementioned 245 & 275 setup.
It’s a bit odd that newer iterations of winter tires are not available, such as Continental 850 or 860 or Dunlop WinterSport 5D. Checking their websites, they don’t even make them in these sizes, which is odd. |

I think 40 may be to high and cause clearance issues. Has to be 30.

Remember, rubbing is bad of course but it's not the only factor. Those 255/35's have the same (or bigger) overall diameter as the 285/30 rears if I recall correctly - significantly different than the front/rear ratio of stock setup. Meaning that the vehicles traction control will be much more sensitive since it'll think the front is spinning too slow (or rear spinning too fast) and it'll try and slow the rear as a result. Alternatively, in my setup, it thinks the rear is spinning slightly slower relative to the front (vs stock setup). So I've noticed that traction takes a moment longer to kick in. Which i prefer vs too much intervention. |

The best match in my opinion is 265/30 front and 295/30 rear using Pirelli soto 3. |

there is not enough sidewall flex, use 18" set up for winter, I have my car stored for winter and use my camry or prius for winter.. get the 18's square set up for grip and more tire choices.. 20's in th winter is a waste in my opinion.
