E93 Tire set-up with stock wheels
Hi guys,
I know a stock tire set-up is 245/35/19 and 265/35/19, but can I go with 255/35/19 and 275/35/19? How would the latter one impact the car? Maybe not much of difference, I guess? And also, how often do you guys do the alignment job to your car? I appreciate your time. |

I'll comment as I feel most people aren't going to chime in cuz this has been discussed multiple times.
For the front: Going from 245/35/19 to 255/35/19, it is a overall diameter difference of +0.8%. Your speedometer will read a bit slower than your actual speed (example: 60mph on your speedo, but you are actually going 60.48mph) For the rear: 265/35/19 to 275/35/19, diameter difference is +1.1%. Not a huge difference really, but you'll potentially gain a bit better handling performance due to the wider track. A lot of peeps are running these sizes. *Note: If you're going from say stock Michelin PSS in stock sizing to a lesser performing tire with wider sizing, you may be hindering the overall performance.
