Very noob, and basic question for you tire experts!!!!!

FlatAir2 · 01-09-2010, 02:47 PM

I have an '07 335i Coupe Sports Package. I am looking to put 235 tires(19" rims) on it and had a few questions.

1) Is there anything I need to worry about?....diameter, rubbing, etc.
2) Can I get RFT's with 19's? (I like not having a spare.)
3) Do they have all season RFT's?

Thank you for any info you tire gurus may have for me.

I am looking for a tire rack purchase/shipment due to being military stationed overseas as well.....

with 235 tires all around you wont rub unless you going to run like ET10 lol

so dont worry there.

yes you can get RFT 19's... but dont. They are heavy and suck at performance. Get AAA and some good tires.

if your overseas ignore my AAA comment, in the US = get AAA lol

The only run-flats that you'll find in 19" are summer performance tires...largest all season run-flats are 17"

I better send my fake Pirelli Sottozero 18" RF winter tires back then

P.S. There are 18" all-season Pirelli Zero Neros too.
