tyre size?

I have 205/55/r16's on my 320d e91 (177)

Is that right everything i read seems to point to 17"?

Also i dont have run flats and no spare should i buy the gunk tyre weld stuff? Where is the best place to buy it apart from dealer?

thanks,

It sounds like an ES spec which has optional runflats and 16" OE wheels.

Some tyreweld would be a good purchase for sure..

How old is it? older models came with 16" if I recall correctly.

If its an SE then it will have had runflats from new so someone previous to you has changed them to normal tyres.

Holts Tyreweld can be bought from any petrol station for £10 a can, or from screwfix etc for about £6 a can. buy 2 to be sure.

I had on 06 E91 previously and bougth it new. I had 17" wheels but these were and option, think 16" were standard on SE then, M sport had bigger wheels as standard.

57 plate 08 registered.

Think they all come 17" now and that was last year it was 16". Suppose it saves on tyres but don't look as nice do they.

Bought that stuff from screwfix just before i saw the post.

thanks a lot.

Mine had star spoke 17" which look really good on the E91 IMHO. 16" look too small but should be better on potholes
