question about tire fitting

yuwa · 11-12-2011, 10:14 PM

i went to a local firestone shop and ask for full set of snow tires for my competition package M3, but they only have Blizzak LM-60 265/35r 19" for the rear, they dont have any 245 for front, can i get 235's tire for the front? or that will make me any trouble?

i dont have any knowledge about tires, some one please give me some suggestion

I run the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 in 245/40/18 on all 4 corners, using the stock 18" wheels.

It might be tough finding a good winter tire in 19".

If you order from the TireRack you can have the appropriate tire sizes shipped directly to your shop for install. If your shop is against using tires you brought yourself, TireRack even has a list of partner shops across the country that do allow for this practice. I'd suggest giving that a shot.
