Tire recommendations

[tomhvynh]

Hey guys! I recently purchased some aftermarket wheels for my F80. Wondering what tire sizes are best for these specs: 18x10 +25 and 18x11 +34. I was looking at Toyo R888R, Continental ExtremeContact Sport, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and Nitto NT01. I am unsure what tire specs to go with. Should I look into 275/35 305/35 or 265/35 295/35? Thank you!

I ran 275/35/18 Front & 305/35/18 Rear, NT01s on my two M4s, 2015 then 2019 cars.
It was a nice street/track setup on a car running a 93 octane stage 1 tune.

I’m running 275/35/18 front and 295/30/18 in the rears. I’m looking to move up to 35 profile but they don’t make Michelin 4s in that size. 295 looks to be the max in the rear for f80’s unless you start adding some camber. (Im also running a 11 +34 wheel in the rear)

just this last hour ive had some conti 7's fitted to the rear,first impressions are good,will post back when done a few miles as they need a few miles to scrub in..

The Conti Extreme Contact Sport are my choice - been running them for years, love the 340 treadwear land good grip in both dry and wet. Nice ride, too.

they're all different types of tires. You need to figure out what kind of driving you're going to do then go from there, ie track only car, dual duty, daily in wet/cold weather etc.

Any issues with the electronic nannies? esp on track?

Tire choice is personal preference while your driving style is a factor. Money no object go with Michelins everyday. My first M4 came with the OEM Conti summers, I got upset with the tires one day and replaced with Pilot Sport AS4's and I swear they are better for ME than the Conti's. Right now it has on the AS4 rims on the car and since I upgraded M4s I again have a set with Conti Summers, I will prolly not replace them until 2024 as have 3-4 sets of tires to buy for other cars this year.

People run all sorts of non-stock configs on the track and I've never heard of nanny issues. To be fair, a lot of track guys do turn those off first thing.

I run 275/35/20 front and 305/35/20 in the rear. I had to remove the spacers in the rear so I don't rub. I am running Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and they are a great upgrade over the Super Sports.

How you fit those tires size? That is 27” + front and 28”+ at the back?
