2009 335i LCI WITH F SERIES 19s TYRE REFIT

[smiddy 76]

Finally dumped the run flats! Don't realise the differerance in ride and handling until you swap.

Went up a width all round to 235-265 with Pilot Sports, heaps more grip even in straight line.

About 10mm inboard on offset on rear over ideal, hence the size change to fill guard a little more, fronts are about 3mm inboard from previous 18s, so not an issue. No rubbing of course which is great as I often carry 100k plus in rear trunk with work.

nice, the runflats on 19s would have been horribly harsh riding.

Current gen runflats (eg. Bridgestone S001) are a couple of orders of magnitude less harsh than my previous car (Bridgestone RE050) - I'm sure the tire tech has improved in the last 10 yrs
