Tire options for BMW 230 style rims

shortseller · 01-29-2012, 09:59 AM

Need new tires for my 2010 e92. I just checked Tire Rack and found very few options(see below). Front: 225/35R19 Rear: 255/30R19.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT (Max Performance Summer)
Pirelli PZero RFT (Max Performance Summer)
Yokohama ADVAN Sport (Max Performance Summer)
Yokohama S.drive (Ultra High Performance Summer)
Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 (Extreme Performance Summer)

That's it unless I go down/up sizes.

So many tires out there but so few choices for our size rims.

Anyone make the change from the OEMs(Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT), and if so what did you go with? Thanks.

You can get the eagle f1 asymmetric. but I would go with 265 rears and 235 fronts and get michelin's ps2

Great tires, is it a certainty that 235/265s will fit the 230 rims? This is what I'm not completely 100% sure about. I will call TR on Monday but wanted to know ahead of time. Thanks for the information.

Tirerack doesn't sell Nitto tires, so they won't pull any of those options for you. Check out their website, I'm sure they make sizes that will fit. I currently run NT05s on the stock 18s.

I've also heard great things about Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. I'd check into those as well.
