Tire Advice Needed for 335i (JB3)
What's up guys!
I'm planning on getting new tires for my 335i sometime soon and I want to move away from the run flat tires. I haven't been in a 335i (JB3) yet with anything but run flats. I have the 19" style 230 wheels, what do you guys suggest? I'd like to start shopping around or know when I spot a deal here on the forums! Thanks in advance!

I have Nankang Ultra Sport NS II summer tires on my 19's.
Although I have AWD, I do know the tires are very popular among G35/37 drivers, who are RWD. tires IMO are very good. I think they retail around $150+ per tire. Just depends on everything else. My rears I think were around $170? Per tire. My rear is 19"x10".. Good luck

Oh and I would take what Qmax says into consideration. He had one of the fastest JB RWD's around. His car is BEAST.

INCOMING NOOB QUESTION!
How do I know if I have Style 230 or Style 189? I thought mine were style 230 but I went outside to look at my tire sizes and this is what it says: Front: 225/40 R18 Rear: 255/35 R18 Does this mean I have 18's? (style 189)

just look through tire rack through your tire size.
staggered set up, btw 225-255= how wide the tire goes /35-40=the size of your sidewall/ R18= 18" Rims. Style ###= Different models of rims(BMW) style 230 or style 189 are 2 different rims you most likely have style-189. |

From my personal experience, I recommend Vredestein Sessanta's
phenomenal tires for a great price I've had PS2's, BFG KDW-2's and these, and they are as good as the PS2's for half the price, Obviously if you wanna blow a ton of money, you cant go wrong with PS2's KDW's look good, and are great handling, look amazing, but very rough riding, even worse than the runflats.
