My original 2023 xDrive50 was totaled out in late September 2024 after a collision with a deer. Broke my heart too. I was able to get a replacement 2023 M60 in Storm Bay Metallic. I just got it this past Monday and quickly learned how bad driving on 22" summer tires is. I have been trying to find some good options for an all season or winter tire to use instead but its about as clear as mud. I've called different BMW dealerships around me, in Michigan, and even get different answers from them.

1. Should I switch to an all-season or winter tire on the current 22" wheels or get another set of wheels with winter tires? The idea would be to swap when the seasons change.
2. What tires are fine to run on the M60? I feel like I see recommendations about the CrossClimate2's but they are not officially approved for the M60 in 22". I assume based on its lower load rating. The Pirelli P-Zeros on it are 107Y. The service associate at my local dealer recommended the CrossCLiamte2's but a different dealer had other thoughts.

I love the iX and I am super happy to have one back after losing mine in the fall but I'd like to be able to safely drive this one. My xDrive50 with 21" wheels and all-season tires handled great year round. I appreciate everyone here and thank you for any advice.

Keep in mind you have an M60 model. In some cases brakes n rotors can be different and clearance could be an issue. Check offset and width of 22s. Based off that you could use 2023 BMW iX M60 Tires to figure out what size 20s or 21s you can fit. '23 M60 22s are 22x9.5 offset of 37.
This is for 22s going to 20s. I'd go with 275 50 20 just because I like width for driving n traction.

It should be illegal for a MI dealer to sell a car with summer tires in the winter. It’s so dangerous to be on those when it’s below freezing. It’s like driving on hockey pucks.

For my M60, I got 22” Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season at Costco for $1500. They’re fine. Not going 160mph in this car anyway.

In October I replaced the original Pirellis summer tires with Michelin EV Pilot all season 22” tires. I just completed a 1500 mile round trip from SC to Fla where I got to drive under all sorts of conditions because of the unseasonal winter snow we experienced last week. The tires performed great but at a cost of 10% reduction in efficiency (from 3.0 miles/kW to 2.7). Since most of my driving is within 100 miles of home and I charge at home, I’m ok with this loss especially if I can get a few more miles out of the tires, but the jury is still out on this point as I only have 5K on them since October.
