Tire size

timzerofive · 03-06-2006, 05:50 PM

Quick question, researching tires for some wheels.
Wheel spec is 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 (for E90 sports).
Tire I'm looking at either (both got good rating on treadwear)
Goodyear Eagle F1
265/30/19
235/35/19

Bridgestone Potenza RE750 - $100 cheaper
275/30/19
235/35/19

Which one would be better?

F1 is better.

What about size wise?

Go with:
275/30/19
245/35/19
Trust me on that. It'll make the wheel side wall look straight and help to protect your rims. 235/35 front and 265/30 rear are quite undersize for 8.5" and 9.5" rims and will have pear shape.

I meant Apple shape.

Goodyear F1 is better tire. Worth the extras $100. But i would also go with the 245 and 275 but if you are looking at tirerack for prices then the 235 and 265 are def cheaper.

Both sizes will work. It's up to you, one is closest to spec and the other isn't. Asking which is better is simply a matter of taste.
