E92 07, Help with tires

soulcrusher · 11-15-2020, 09:32 PM

Hello. My passenger tire failed a balance test and I'm in need of a tire due to steering wheel vibrations. Apparently the tire was damaged, suspected rough contact with a pothole. There is no uneven wear.

The car is running aftermarket tires and rims. Unfortunately when I bought it (rushed purchase) it didn't come the OEM rims. I searched my VIN online and the car originally had:

18" Light alloy Star-spoke wheels style 189-with performance run-flat tires

Now:
Aftermarket 19' TSW rims 7 spoke style
(Not sure of the metal type, but I believe it's this one by appearance alone: https://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_nurburgring.php

Front: 235/35ZR19 91W XL M+S ADVANTA
Rear: 265/30ZR19 93W XL M+S ADVANTA

------------------------------------------------------

I read the sticky notes on the tire subforum to update myself on the basics.

What do you guys recommend I purchase?
I plan to call tire-rack tomorrow on opening hours.

Any help is appreciated!!

If your front tires are fairly new, just get one matching tire. If they're more than about 1/4 worn, I'd get a set of two quality tires. You could always keep the other as a spare. Id be sure it's your tire and not your rim--19s aren't very hard to bend. Good luck!
