2024 bmw X7 winter tires

Hi all?

Question for you. Got winter tires put on - instead of 315s on the back they put 325s as was available and significantly cheaper. That being said they also kept 275s up front both on 22s.

Ride feels fine - but will this cause any issues?

Technically 325 is too wide for the rear rims, and your front and rear tires are of different diameters. It's 1% off
This can theoretically cause transfer case damage, the transfer case will be slipping to compensate, bmw will check for non stock tire sizes in case of drivetrain issues. 325/35 should be paired with 285/40. But that is technically out of spec as well, but there's no diameter difference
