Having a smaller diameter wheel with higher profile sidewall can aid traction as it allows the sidewall to flex more.

In this case, a 1" difference will not make any substantial difference, assuming all other things (tires, conditions...). For all practical purposes, the tires will be far more important than 1" of wheel/tire difference.

I was fine on 20” snows, they were 285 all around on my ‘16 and ‘19 X6Ms. Previous generation had 255 50 19.

I’ll give you one better. The winter wheel and tire package for the new X6M is 21” !?!? The sidewall is 30 or 35 and 295? wide. WTF? Just what I want, a tiny sidewall for snow in pothole capital of the world.

Don’t the damn engineers know narrower with more sidewall is better? I guess it’s all about looks over function.

Narrower is always better in the mud and snow. So if you want "maximum" traction and snow-performance you would go with far narrower than any performance car comes with.

Dang3r · 10-10-2021, 04:16 PM

I have only 255th around the M4 as winter tires, is working fine for me.

This thing is incredible!!! Was able to remove a ton of oxidation on one of my cars. Battery lasted the entire job on just a charge.

I know that but they keep changing the wheel and tire sizes. I need to get a new winter wheel package every generation and Im stuck with what BMW offers. I do have a square set up but it’s still too wide in my opinion.

So it really is all about girth, and not length? ;-)

4" or 6"? What is the throw on this guy? Did a mobile detail job this weekend and it got me to thinking about a cordless option for a DA.

Edit: Never mind, I googled. 3"

I bought practically the same Biergarten table this weekend but old and painted from an antique store for a pumpkin carving party this weekend. I'm fascinated by the double duty latch mechanisms on it

How about a 10" pole?

No point in posting a picture as it's just a wiring harness, but an early birthday present to myself. It's been a long hard year and I needed something to pick up my spirits. Remote start harness for the Lexus that will bypass Lexus' Enform Suite. Ridiculous that my car comes with remote start, but have to pay a monthly service to use it. Hopefully the car will be out of the shop in a week or two and I can slap this thing in.

Wow, how much does Lexus charge for that "service"?
