The BMW iX configurator doesn’t offer all-season tyres for 22-inch wheels. Is there any reason why they’re not available? I find it strange that there’s no option.
Not sure, but just so you know, if you go with all-seasons, your top speed is limited to 125mph. With summer tires, it goes up to 155mph.
I didn’t realize this when I ordered mine and now I’m stuck with the 125mph limit. There’s no way to fix it through a software update, which is frustrating.
I guess that’s why most iX models at dealers have summer tires, but BMW doesn’t make this clear in the configurator, which is kind of annoying.

That’s interesting, but I can’t imagine needing to drive that fast anyway. I live in the Northeast, so summer tires aren’t really an option for me unless I want to change them every season, and that just sounds like a hassle.
@Keelan
Why would you need to drive a big car like that faster than 125mph?

Honestly, with how quick these EVs are, I’ve hit 115mph by accident just on freeway ramps. On an empty freeway, I could easily see myself hitting 130+ just for fun. But yeah, I wouldn’t do that with traffic around.

Still dangerous and illegal. You could lose your license for that.

Alright, calm down Dad.
@Keelan
It’s unfair they don’t disclose this info in the configurator.
@Keelan
125mph?! Straight to jail! 
@Keelan
Wait, is this really true? Do you have a source for this info? I’ve only seen 125mph listed as the top speed everywhere I checked.

Check the ordering guide. If you select 21” or 22” wheels with performance tires, you also get option 840, which increases the speed limiter.

Wow, that’s crazy, and it’s even worse that you can’t fix it later with a software update.
For the 2024 BMW iX in the US, there aren’t any OEM 22-inch all-season tire options. The largest all-season size available is 21 inches.
I live in the Northeast too and have summer tires on my 22-inch wheels. I’m debating whether to get smaller rims with winter tires or just find some 22-inch all-seasons and be done with it.

I went with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires for my 22-inch BMW wheels. They’ve been great.
@Val
That sounds like a solid option. I’m leaning in the same direction.

Yeah, it’s just disappointing that 22-inch all-seasons aren’t available in the configurator.
@Neve
Totally agree. I bought mine used, so I didn’t have a choice. The summer tires have been good so far though.

Honestly, with the mild winters we’ve had lately, I’m starting to wonder if we even need all-season or winter tires anymore. Lol.
@Neve
Haha, I’ve thought the same thing!
