Tyre Sizes

UltimateManga · 03-08-2011, 11:36 AM

Hi guys, my 1st post here so hello to all

. Im changing my tyres from the usual RFT'S (Bridgestones) to non RFT'S oh and the wheels are 19" 225m on a 335d coupe. Im interested in the new michelin pilot super sport tyres but they dont do rears in 255/30/19 so am thinking of going 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rears, is this ok to do so or is they any problems with uping the size from the std? All help will be grateful for and many thanks in advance!

No problems with the sizes, many on the forum including myself run with the same

Me too, but Falken brand.

Might up it to 275 if soemthing is available as the Falkens always look stretched on the Alufelgen rears.

+1 on no issues with those sizes

Is there any reason not to stick with standard sizes?

Are the tyres cheaper, more availability or just a little more grip?
