Did plan A involve fitting smaller dia wheels? ie is there a smaller size wheel option in the handbook?
Sure did, the BMW recommended option is 225/45/17http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=110...

That's very loose definition of all season, I'd love to see it tested but I don't think it would be up to much in the snow or ice. The Pirelli Cinturato All Season is their true all season tyre they've targeted at the UK climate: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Pirelli/Cinturat...

"The Pirelli Cinturato P7 All-Season Plus delivered good snow traction and exhibited good control and stability during handling maneuvers"

we run Pirelli Cinturato Allseasons on the Audi Allroad all year round and they're fine as we live in a very rural place and the roads are often covered in mulch and mud. They're fine in slush and snow as they are well siped - but on an M Sport BMW they'd really compromised in summer and not as good as a winter tyre the other months. I have always run my BMWs on winters from dec - march, and proper performance tyres the rest of the time. All seasons seem to wear a lot quicker than normal tyres - so I'd definitely recommend doing what I do - swapping wheels and tyres for the winter months. I couldn't get the winters I wanted for my Z4M so ended up buying a shed for winter - an E61 330i M Sport Touring and got a set of almost new wheels and dunlop winters for £500 from eBay.

i live in a very rural location and travel to Scotland a lot, and good summer tyres work well, just drive a bit slower in winter. out winters are more moderate than mainland Europe.
All seasons just aren't there yet, whatever the CClimate marketing implies.
Is that a BMW, or similar Front engined - RWD wagon? All seasons just aren't there yet, whatever the CClimate marketing implies.

How does one know this? Is there any independent reports of the Cross Climate to refute Michelin's claims?IF I had a sports car then I can imagine that all 4S tyres would be a compromise too far - sports cars been designed to drive at the edge, even if the owner didnt drive on the edge the ride and sure footedness wouldnt be as good as dedicated tyres.
However, for the standard rep mobile then cant see a 4S been a bad thing.
