HELP! Xdrive setup staggered.. TRACTION CONTROL
Hey Guys.
So I recently purchase a set of tires and rims. Rim style 269 I am having major issues with it. Whenever accelerating from 0 to around 30 -50 Kilometers. The steering wheel will tilt to the left and right and I can feel the rear wheels not getting in sync with the front set. And the Traction control start to kick in couple of times. I’d need to let go of the accelerator and press it once again. To get the wheels in sync. Current setup: FRONT : 225/35/19 ( pirelli P zero runflats ) REAR: 265/35/19 ( Falken azenis) My car is an Xdrive model. And I know it’s not suited for staggered setup. But I am told by other that they have run this setup before. For those asking where I got these numbers. Here is the link: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1050762 I will be getting tomorrow : 235/35/19 and will be trying it. Really hoping it would fix this issue.. if any of you have any tips or resolutions. I would greatly appreciate it. |

It's probably your combo that is messing it up. Mixed tires, runflat/non runflat. If you are going to be using 19" wheels then 235/35-19 in the front and 265/30-19 in the rear(notice how your aspect ratio is wrong). Also get an alignment. I would stick to 18" wheels but that's just me.
Also it's cold out so the tires aren't that sticky. Last question: Do you drive with this setup in the snow?

Yeah I am getting 235/35/19 today! And sticking to non run flats. Only reason I chose run flats in the front since the front has a higher chance of getting hit by a pothole/ nail etc. I thought it was smart lol.. and no bro! Here in Toronto, the snow is gone 😝😝

Your back would still be wrong. Look at the numbers I posted. And no the snow isn't gone for the season just checked the forcast. It's not even done with NYC.
Don't drive when it snows. Awd will do jack shit. |

True. But would the difference between 265/35/19 vs 265/30/19 be substantial? I was told by many that the sedans (e90) can easily take the extra height?
If so I'll see if I can get them changed then :/ thanks bro! Appreciate all the help |

Sure they can. But then get 235/40-19 in the front. Might rub but with stock ride height probably not. Best bet plan would be 18" wheels with more rubber but that costs money.
