Hello friends! My Prime XSE was manufactured the 29th and is en route. I suspect it’ll be the first week of December (at least) before I take delivery in CA. I’m looking for recommendations for off-road and trail use. I have been taking notes in this thread:


I see that the Hybrid’s ground clearance is only 0.2” lower than the Prime yet shorter 235s in a 19” configuration are being used. I’m assuming this is due to the substantial power increase and for braking, but can I fit something like a 235/70/16 or 245/70/16 or 245/65/17 Toyo Open Country AT3/K02/Falken Wildpeak etc. instead without a lift? I really don’t like the idea of 19”s off-road even though plenty of the big YouTube reviewers say it’s more than capable with them. Long time BMW guy looking forward to zero maintenance and infrequent fill-ups, thnxxx.
