275/35/19 rear tyres
I’m a bit out of touch with recent BMW tyre/wheel sizes, but is 275 not a bit wider than usual for 19” rims...?
Fronts are 255 wide.

Hi depends on the wheel width , offset & stance of the car .
My X5 could run 255/50/19 fonts , 285/45/19 rears but 255/50/19 all round in the winter .

Serious rubber not exactly matched with the brakes 275 suggests a 10j rear , whatever its good to see the Bmw boffins finally seeing sense on the profile previous 19s on Zs being a 30 profile which is simply not enough

It's a safe choice, 380bhp would unsettle a 255 (like the M4) so these 275s should keep it planted.

....and the 35% of a 275 does seem quite a high tyre wall, should ride quite well.

The choice of 255/35/19 fronts is more interesting, IMHO. All things being equal, that feels like more aggressive setup (stagger ratio) than the past two generations, and perhaps one more appropriate for a front-engined sports car than what we currently have?
