New Tires for a Supercharged e92
I tried to search the forum to find this answer (I am sure it has been asked a thousand times), but I am about ready to replace tires on my 2009 e92 with stock 19" 220 wheels. The car is ESS Supercharged, so a little more traction would be a help. I would like to go something like 275-35-19 Rear and 255-35-19 Front in a Pilot Super Sport or PS2 tire.
Can I do this without creating any rub issues? If not, what are some suggestions for sizes? |

I'm pretty sure you can fit 295/30/19 AD08's on ZCP rear rims

Are you running 18" or 19" wheels? Stock or aftermarket wheels? If afternarket wheels, what are the front and rear widths as well as wheel offsets? |

So is it safe to assume that either PS2 or Supersports of size 275-35-19 in the Rear and 255-35-19 in the Front are a good approach?
I have seen some threads this week where the increased size may be causing traction control system issues. Also, it sounds like the Pilot Supersports in this size on an M3 are not getting great reviews. Can others comment on either of these two potential issues? |

For what it's worth, I'm running 285 PS2 on HRE 20x10" wheel rear for my summer setup, and 275 LM-60 on ZCP 19" wheel with a 12mm spacer for winter. Car is also lowered. No rubbing issues on either and still not enough traction!

I am still hoping to get a more certain answer to my question. Does someone out there have the set-up I am contemplating (see original post)?
I think I would prefer the Super Sports to the PS2, but I would welcome insight based on experience. My car came with PS2s. |

I am running this setup, there is a slight rub on one side in the front if your clock the steering all the way to the side.

Switch down to a 18" wheel. Much more tire selection... But if you are sticking with stock 19" wheels.. Go with the RE-11s. A good friend of mine (Drew) has these tires and has never said one negative thing about them.
If you are going with 18s, I'm running Falken 615K's on my m3.. I love them. 315/30/18
