Help buying new tires

Hi, I want to buy a new set of tires for the M3, running stock 220M 19" wheels but canīt find 265/35 for the rears.

So please, considering the options I have available (below) Whatīs the best combination, with no rubbing and well balanced?

Same tire brand on all wheels.

Thanks.

Completely forget about 40/45 profile tires.

The rest you mentioned could all work but will NOT keep in line with the specified factory ration. Have you tried TireRack.com? I just done a quick search CLICK HERE. As you can see there are many tires available for your specified application, OEM.

You could also upgrade tire sizes; 245/35 Fronts and 285/30 Rears. Or like many on here do, 255/35 Fronts and 275/35 Rears.

Unfortunately we cannot import tires here due to the extemely hard import policy.

Then I will have to stick to the options above. I really need a more comfortable ride around town, those PS2 are too harsh.

Where did you buy the car? Doesn't the dealer carry 265/35? Out of the combinations you have listed, 245/35 & 275/35 are probably the best bet.

So, is it ok to go with 245/35 & 275/35 ? Iīm afraid there are not plenty of options around.
