Wheel and tire size question on 550 xi M Sport

I just took delivery of my new 2011 550 xi M Sport. Every BMW I've ever had came with staggered tire sizes. It's impossible to tell in the owners manual what size wheels and tires I should have.

All four are Goodyear Eagle 245 45 19.

I just want to be sure this is correct before I call the dealer?

Thanks

Those are the correct sizes, same as on my 550ix. US spec 550ix does not have staggered set up.

You mean 245-40-19, right?
Those are the only all-season RFTs with that size, we don't have any choice.

Oops, that's right, I didn't pay attention when I answered the post and said that the tires he referenced were correct. 245 40 19 is the correct size for 550ix. I just changed out my winter tires today, they are 245 45 18. Sorry fo the confusion.
