Tyre recommendations
I need to replace rear tyres shortly and was wanting to get some recommendations/opinions on what you guys have on factory 19" competition pack wheels.
I was just going to get OEM Michelin 265/35/19 but have been told they are out of stock locally for a couple of months. What sizes and brands are you guys using? |

Hey mate, I recently purchase Michelin Pilot Super Sport for my factory 19" competition pack wheels. Get a set from tyresales.com.au for under 2k. Ended up saving over 1k after taking it back with my to Auckland New Zealand (where I live). They are one of the best tyres you can get for the M3. got the stock 245 front and 265 back.

You could try these Bridgestones as they are reviewed very well (same performance category as the Michellin PSS) and way cheaper here:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes I did a fair bit of research into the cheapest but quality tyre options late last year and decided on these Bridgestones. If interested, have a look at my post half way down the page here, which has links to tyre reviews: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1042583 |

I'm running nitto invo and find them to be really good and great value. I have 305 on rear and suspect they would even be decent as a street class track tyre

Found a picture
of 275/35/19, think I prefer the look of the 265 as the sidewall is a little narrower. Wish the Michelin PSS came in 285/30 like the GTS sizing. |

Conti 5P Sports 285/30/19 will cost you around $640 a tyre but damn are they good tyres mate.

Michelin PSS provide awesome grip levels etc. That said, anyone running something like the Yokohama AE50 in our standard sizes (245/35/19, 265/30/19) ?

Pretty subjective topic.
On my 220M road wheels, I've tried Pirelli P-Zero, Michelin PSS, and Kumho PS91. I've only had them on a month, but I rate the PS91 over the others as grip is as good (if not better) than the PSS, was cheaper, tread pattern looks almost identical, tread depth is greater, noise is lower. Wouldn't recommend Pirellis to anyone. If my current track-set tyres were available in the right sizes for the 220M's, I'd go for those (Kumho KU36). They're great as a dual purpose road and track tyre with amazingly low wear. Excellent grip (once warm), but must manage the right foot in the wet. |

At moment Yokohama is running a special. Buy 3 get 4th tyre free.
I got a quote for 235 and 265 , 19"- AD08R for $1290 at Bob Jane. That's a very very good price and awesome tyre |

Have the Michelin PSS myself, they are a good road tyre but bloody expensive. Has Michelin SCups before, great grip but they didn't last a year. Depends what you value, durability or adhesion.

You might want to check out tyroola.com.au
I recently purchased a set of Nitto Invo's (255/30/R20 fronts and 305/25/R20 rears) and they came out to be the cheapest by far. Even cheaper than tyresales.com.au on all other brands. Great service too - very prompt |

No, I think 265-275 would be about as wide as practical on OEM
