2016 F16 M Sport tires up sizing

Question can I when replacing my PZeros go bigger size on the black rims with no issues? Was looking to see if anyone else had done and what they thought and felt difference

What wheels and OE size rubber do you have on there currently?

Be careful with this. Running the incorrect size tires and having xDrive can cause serious issues...

As long as the circumference remains within tolerance between the front and rear, you're ok.

Thanks for responses I current have the PZeros that come with the Msport package on the optional black rims. I believe that they are 315's on the rear. I'd like the steering to be a bit tighter hence the ask if I could go up one size on the fronts and rears and if they would fit on my current rims and not cause abnormal tire wear. I'm surprised no one else has considered out there maybe because it's a no go option? I know that the x6M has bigger tires but I think on a different size rim

Going up a tire size is not going to make your steering any tighter.

Thanks I meant more in the context of cornering turn in and overall turning and cornering with the larger sized tires. In the past I've unsized tires on various sports cars and felt a difference in cornering abilities. Granted though this is hardly a "sports" car in dimensions and weight/height!
