M sport 20" Tire size clarification

Will the 20" option 740 wheel be a square set up? From the usa site it looks like front and rear are the same. On the European site the details are a little different.

Aluminum rims styling 740 M 20 "bicolor
0 €
BMW M 20 "alloy wheels, 740 M star spoke spokes, Bicolor Orbitgrau, with mixed tires, polished lathe, front 9 J x 20, tires 275/45 R 20, rear 10.5 J x 20, tires 305/40 R 20.

So was just wondering which is it?

The (USA) Pricing Guide reflects a square set up for 1TD 20" M Star-spoke bi-color wheels, style 740M with all-season run-flat tires
(20x9.0, 275/45 R20).

Switching to a performance RFT in the US will get you the staggered wheel setup. The all-season tires are square setup.

All BMWs use active TPMS as far as I know. Sensors are in valve stem.

Thanks.

I love the staggered setup and looking at the order guide, in the US , it is available only in 21" (744 regular Y-spoke with perf. RFTs ; 741 M Y-spoke bi-color also with perf. RFT) and 22 " (742M double spoke bi-color, perf non-RFT).

I like the non-RFT option, but don't want to choose the 22" rim - would like some sidewall, so 21" is my preferred option to get back a little bit for ride comfort as well. Thinking of getting this setup and then switching out the tires to Conti DWS06's .

Sorry for the silly question here, but can I ask my dealer to swap out the tires? I'd hate to buy a set of new tires that I won't use anyway and pay another $1k to get a new set of shoes. Anybody do something similar in the past ?

Have you used the Conti DWS06's on an SUV before? I used them on my ML recently and only got 18k miles out of them. Have used the DWS on my sedans exclusively and loved the tire, which is why I tried them on my ML.

Anyone have any idea what OEM tires will be in the rotation for the 20" setup? I got stuck with Goodyear Eagle LS-2s last time and they are terrible.

No I haven't used those tires on an SUV before, only on my 528 F10 sedan. The improvement from the stock Conti RFTs to these are very noticeable. Also they have generally good reviews online.

Was casually checking them out on Tirerack ...Used the 2018 x5 model as a starting point even though the sizes aren't the same for the 2019 version. Thank you for the heads-up.

For the 2019 model, Tirerack only has the tires listed for the 22" rims, which are too thin for my personal preference. If you search by size I am sure you will find decent options ... but I have been too lazy to do that yet

I don't believe the DWS06 is currently available in the G05 21" tire sizes.
Thank you. Yeah sounds about right [dealer].
DWS06 - this part is indeed true - only 22" listed for the 2019 model. I hope this will change in the next few months ...

I just swapped out my first set of DWS06 for a new set after 45k miles.
They were still showing DW and likely could have gone a while longer if winter wasn't around the corner.

What setup did you have to only get 18k miles?

They were 20" tires on my ML350. Not sure if I got a bad set or what. I do know that Mercedes wanted an XL load rated tire and the DWS were not but that shouldn't have effected the tire wear at all. The weight of the car was still well below the rated weight of the tire.
