BMW X2 - Winter Tyres - HELP

Hi all,

First post and new to community.

My wife has a 2018 BMW X2 2.0 S Drive. It drives less than 10 miles per week for her to commute to work and back. We have recently moved house to a more remote area, so I was looking to get a set of winter tyres for her.

The car currently has the 20"M Sport alloys with Pirelli P-Zero (225/40R20) which I don't particularly rate. I can't seem to find any decent winter sets to fit those alloys, so if all else fails I thought to buy a set online - alloys and tyres - to keep in the garage and swap out between winter/summer. Would there be any specifics I would be looking at to make sure they fit the X2?

Thanks in advance

As an FYI - I have found a couple of sets but not sure if compatible:
Continental - 225/55/R16 - previously on F30 3 Series
Dunlop - 225/60/R17 - previously on X3
Goodyear - 245/45/R18 - previously on 5 series
Michellin - 225/55/R17 - previously on 5 series

If anyone could let me know any thoughts if these could be fitted or any other advice it would be great..

If you're not going to run anything mounted on the 20" wheels for your winter setup I'd go with the base model setup for the X2 S-Drive, which is 18" wheels & 225/50/18 tires. Seems like there's an abundance of 18" OEM wheels for sale around the web (take-offs). For sure I'd try to stay 225 wide for snow/ice use purposes. You want to cut through the snow & ice for road contact/traction, not float over it. Obviously no issue with fitmentsif you go that route.
