295/30/20 is out if youre an xDrive G8X. 1.5% is too far out. Half the people that post, asking about tire size suggestions, dont own the same car as people that are saying the compounds are good for. You have to pay attention to the circumferential difference, front to rear on the xDrive. On the tire calculator, 295/30/20 mixed with an OEM front size, doesnt work.

If youre xDrive, its a waste of time, and money to go to a compound that they dont make in BMW spec. BMW doesnt make a 295/30/20 tire for the G8X, so, youre removing a tire that has a hybrid PS4S and Sport Cup 2 mix, for an off the shelf tire that doesnt.

I'll post 2 pictures, below. One shows the 1.5% variance in tire sizing that just wont work with the xDrive. and the other shows how much better the BMW* spec tire is. Its made of 4 compounds instead of 2. If you go to a 295, which if youre xDrive, you cant, without changing the front tire size, as well, youre also going to an inferior tire compound.
