We sold all we got from Dunlop, and they have no more.

Speedo will be slightly less accurate. That's getting pretty small for a tire on the M3, esp on the rear. I would stay with 235 if possible.

Longer answer: Gross Axle weight ratings may vary slightly with vehicle options, but shouldn't be much over 2300 lbs F and 2650lbs R. At 35psi your 235 and 255 setup will carry (1312lbs x 2 tires) front and (1477 lbs x 2tires) rear. So you have plenty of capacity over and above the heaviest expected weight ratings for a fully loaded vehicle. The front Dunlop is extra-load rated, and adding 3psi or so would bring it back to the load rating of the bigger tire, but as there is no corresponding benefit for the standard-load rear tire, and given that pressure recommendations are related to ride/handling characteristics and not just load, factory pressure seems to be the best way to go. Information on load at specific pressures was obtained from appendix B here: http://www.tiresafety.com/images/Tir...t%20Manual.pdf

255 is better. 265 might rub in front. The 255 will fit the wheel just fine, and is the safer bet.

E90 M3 Winter Set: Sport Edition A7(Black) with 235/40R-18 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D
Hi all,
My first time posting as I just bought this car a month ago. I live in Chicago so a winter set is a must. Did my research on this forum and decided to make my purchase through TireRack.com which I highly recommend to all those considering it. Wheels: 18x8 Sport Edition A7 (Black) to achieve the "Blackout" I am looking for. Tires: 235/40R-18 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D XL With BMW center caps it came out to $1,525 w/ tax&shipping. Everyone always asks for pictures so I took a few. I am very happy with them so far. If you are interested in specific pics let me know. My previous car was a 2010 STi with Blizzaks so my winter performance expectations are pretty high. So far these handle extremely well on dry/wet. The snow will be coming soon so I will post updates then. |

It is a tight year for winter tire supply. It's like they didn't think it was gonna snow this year.

If you want the tire to go out over the edge of the wheel, 255/35R19 F and 275/35R19 R would give more wheel coverage. Most people prefer the fit of these sizes when mounted on those wheels, and these are the sizes I usually recommend. To place an order, you may call me at 877.522.8473 x660, or click through any of the Tire Rack banner ads.

225/40R18 slightly small, but only 1 size smaller than the smallest recommended 235/40R18. Wheel size should be fine as long as they clear the front brakes.
