I noticed that. The F10 M5 has 295's on a 10" rim, they can fit it fine on the Saloon G30 but need to change to 285's on the Touring - seems a bit weird.

The E61 M5 also had 275's in the rear and the Saloon had 285's in the rear.
Yeah weird eh! Might be something to do with the increased weight at the rear and the max additional loading weight permitted (130kg) being higher in the touring... tyre pressures maybe? I'm clutching at straws...surely some technical guy will chime in here...:
