[SIZE=10pt]Hi all, [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]due to local road conditions I am planning to replace the BMW e60 tyre dimensions from 225/50R17 to 205/55R17. The 205/55R17 is not found on the recommended vehicle tyre dimension list. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]The rolling circumference for the 225/50R17 is 1980.86mm whilst the 205/55R17 is 1982.37mm[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]In my case speedometer reading is not an issue.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Assuming that winter / snow tyres are “ideally” of smaller footprint width with higher side section height, there might be someone that might have been using this tyre size.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Does anybody have the experience / problem using the 205/55R17? i.e. iDrive warning, “false” flat tyre indicator warning, brake and driving control systems failure or warning; etc [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Thank you[/SIZE]
