Tire Sizes For M220's

Gto3 · 09-14-2014, 11:48 PM

I just picked up a set of m220's and was wondering what my options are for tire sizes. Was thinking 245/30/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in the rear. However, what is my range of flexibility here?

What would be a conservative stance compared to an aggressive tire set up?

Additionally, is it frowned down upon to run different tire brands and models on different wheels?

Are there any repercussions from doing so?

Any help or information is much appreciated!

Also if anybody is selling tires that would fit my set up please PM me!!

Thanks!!!

I've tried all the common alternate sizes and I'm back to stock sized Michelin's. Best way to go. Drives better than any others.

What comes on the 220's is 245/35/19 front, 265/35/19 rear.

Also these sizes are better priced than some of the other Michelin sizes too.

255-35-19 on the front
275-35-19 rears
Michelin piolet super sport
No rubbing
No spacers
Looks great

Good choice. Your speedo will be as accurate as you can expect. Never quite dead on.

Did you get Michelins?

Any way you can post some pics? I'm thinking of switching from the 245/265 Michelin PSS to this size and would like to see them on the car first. I'm running 12 and 15mm spacers as well...

The price difference for the incremental size increase is disproportionate.

I've used 265/30-19 front and 275/30-19 ad08r.

Likely not a good idea on a tire with soft sidewalls
