255/30/19 MPSS (9.5j ET33) - will it work with a lowered LCI?
I have P Zero Silvers at the moment, but they are being replaced.
Car is a E91 Touring (LCI model) and is lowered on H&R Sport with Bilstein B8 dampers. The current 255/30/19 Pirelli's DO NOT rub, even with a fully loaded car. I want to change to the same sized 255/30/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports, but I don't want any rubbing issues & Im not wanting to roll my arches either! Reason for my concern is that I've read reviews suggesting they 'run wide' (so more like a 265/30) and have 'square' shoulders..... Will the 255/30/19 MPSS's work? Thanks in advance ![]() |

I actually don't like the way the pilots look, because they run wide and have square shoulders. Makes them look like the wrong size tyre has been fitted to me. Saying that, I like a bit of stretch so the total opposite look than these give.

Sadly the P Zero's have been damaged my a main dealer (front) and then again by one of BMW's contractors (rear)
I'm furious, because I loved the white P Zero logos and the stretch that the tyres gave. Pirelli have discontinued them now too, so getting a replacement rear is impossible (I can get a front) So in the face of this, BMW have no option but to fund a totally new set of 4 so I'm back with a matching set. I'm think about the Conti Sport Contact 5P, as I don't think they run wide like the MPSS do? |

should be an easy fit... you could probably go up to 265 if you wish, i've read people going up to 275 lowered with no camber or rolling but with tyres that run a little less wide...
(the LCIs do run a little wider than usual but you should be okay...)
