comfort & noise reduction...
'07 328xi Coupe - Sports Package
I will be upgrading my stock 17s wrapped in Turanza RFTs (which by the way are in pristine condition) to M3 replica 18s... What is the best tire size for a quiet/comfortable ride without affecting the frame (I don't think thats the proper term) of the x-drive setup? Size: 18"x8.5" Offset: 35MM Bolt Pattern: 5x120 Part No. W716GMF18x8.5.35 Hub Bore: 72.6 Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/18-X-8-5-M3-...ht_5455wt_1348 |

225/40R18 or 235/40R18 would be the most commonly used sizes.

With an Xi I would not suggest running a taller tire in the rear. Stick with 225/40R18 all around or 235/40R18 all around.

Try non-RFT tires like the Michelin Pilot Super Sport if you want comfort and low noise with extreme performance...
