Tire Size Options for 335is

huntercross · 11-19-2014, 12:22 PM

Hi All. I just picked up a 2013 BMW 335is Coupe 6MT with the optional 19" double spoke wheels. The car has the stock Bridgestone RE050A RFT's and I would like to put on some Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
Question: How wide of a tire can I put on these wheels on stock suspension without worrying about rubbing issues?
The stock 225 and 255 sizing is a little narrow, so it would be nice to get a little more rubber on the road. Thanks!

What are the differences bigger tires make?

You get better turn-in and more grip.

I have the same wheels and 235/265 PSS and have no problems.

Turn in response will slow down switching to traditional tires but the improved grip and ride quality are a very worthwhile trade off imo
