Anyone running 285/30/19 in the rear?
Thinking of switching out my rear 265/35's to 285/30 on the stock ZCP wheels to give some more much needed grip. This will give an identical rolling diameter in front and rear (245/35 front & 285/30 rear) Has anyone done this? Any issues? I am mainly concerned about the DSC kicking in prematurely.

You may want to step up to a 265 in the front if you do this in order to keep the front to rear width ratio somewhat similar. Unless, of course, you REALLY like understeer.
***disclaimer: I have no idea if a 265 will fit on the stock front wheel, so check on that first. It is more general advice.

The GTS runs 255/35 & 285/30 from the factory on ZCP wheels. Can't be that bad. I'm still waiting for Michelin to announce 285/30 with the PSS.

I don't have a E90.....but I run that setup with no issues. I track and daily on it.
I have 18x10.5ET25 on 285/40/18, and 18x10ET15 on 285/35?/19. No rubbing issues. |

I run a 265/30/19, 295/30/19 setup that I absolutely love for street/track driving. Adjust PSI at the track and you've got a fast pretty neutral car... For me that is.

I am running a 255/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear. I love the fitment, the DSC can be a tad more intrusive..key word here is tad. I found it will still allow some slip as long as there isn't a lot of steering input. If the yaw on the steering wheel goes beyond a certain angle it shuts you down a tad earlier than when I had the OEM setup on my ZCP.
A few pics for you.. A side shot so you can see the profile..

I contacted a reputable Michelin Distributor a couple of weeks ago to get a release date on PSS 285/30/19. It is still not on the radar yet. Typically the tire will show in the system a month or two before availability. That is what the 265/35/19 is doing now with Tirerack. Hopefully it will arrive Q1 or Q2 of 2012.

I plan on switching to a 255/35 F and 285/30 R zcp setup come spring. Hopefully by then the PSS will be offered in the 285/30 size. Dave07997S - your car looks nice with that setup

You can get them in the new Conti-Sportcontactextreme's. I would get these...You will see I posted on this thread 7 years ago with my 2011 M3. I sold that and got a 2013 ZCP M3 and ran 255/285 setup but with the Conti 5Ps. Those were a very good tire as well. The extremecontact is just slightly inferior to the new Mich 4S.
