Anyone put Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow 265/55/19's on a 2012 E70 35d?

Hi,

I'm picking up a new X5 next weekend and will take it up into the snow, was wondering if anyone has placed the Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow 265/55 R19's on the sport stock 19" rims and has had no rubbing issues? Many thanks!

That would be a noticeably larger diameter than the OEM 19s. 255/50 front and 285/45 rear. Pirelli does sell those in 19s which work fine.

That's an odd size, I got the 255-50-19 Pirelli snow and ice and they are absolutely great!

I have Pirelli Snow & Ice on my 2009 X5 M Sport: 255/50 front and 285/45 rear. They fit just fine on 19's.

255/19's Pirelli ice and snow on my 2012 and the car was a beast in the 8 inches if snow we just got in Chicago. It was fun watching SUVs struggle to drive in the same conditions w/ all seasons why I just motored on.

I have the P. Scorpion Ice and Snow in a 255/50/19 mounted and they perform great. Best all-around winter tire Ive owned. Performs great in snow and even cold dry conditions. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm driving on snow tires when I'm staring down at the speedo reading over 100mph... And slow down...
