That could explain things. Like why is my tire clearance so close around my front shock hardware.
The PO must have upsized. I was a little surprised to see /55 and /19 as I was expecting 255/55/18 like every other X5 I've worked on. It didn't occur to me that the upsize to 19 without downsize on ratio would explain a couple things like why my dashboard reads a mpg better than receipt math hmmmmm.
That is almost enough to put my Speedo at the correct speed at 75 which probably good to figure that out sooner than later.
