Yeah, I was looking at 225/40 and 255/35 for tires. Is there a link to a "rolling stock" calculator type thing? I know tirerack was telling me which type of setup to run, as well as conversing with VS motorsports on here as well.

getbmwparts.com
that is their website

^^^^ doesn't sound like much of a deal to me at all, so if I need any I'll go through Tire Rack or something.

Beru makes the OEM bmw equipment and is sold by a few vendors here on e90post. Do a search and PM all the vendors for the best deal, but it should be about $200 for a set of four.

thanks, Tire Rack does them for about the same, $196.

Yea I got mine for the tirerack rep in our wheel tire forum. Was like $200 and had them the next day.

Sorry, I should have clarified OEM TPMS. There are other companies that make the same thing for less, sure. Tischer is still $75+ cheaper than any other dealership.

Also, on the rolling diameter issue with xi's, "it's all about the ratio of the rolling diameter from front to back. Anything at or below a 1% difference is ok, you can use the calculator in the wheels and tires forum to calculate." The xi section of the forums will also offer a lot more information for you on this topic, just search. This and staggered setups get a lot of attention.

thanks Mi, I will have to look into that as well, as I thought the Tirerack recommendations should be "safe", but ill have to look into it deeper.
