F20 M135i — Staggered Setup
The F20 M135i runs a staggered tyre setup — wider rear tyres (245mm) than front (225mm) — to accommodate the rear-wheel-drive power delivery. This means you cannot rotate tyres front-to-rear. Rear tyres wear faster (power delivery) and cost more when replaced. Budget for a rear tyre pair on the M135i. Always align after any tyre change on the M135i — the rear alignment settings are critical for the handling balance.
