Winter tyres on the Z4 19s

Post by dvd112 » Sat Jan 17, 2015 10:39 am

Hi guys. Struggling to get winter tyres for the rear of my zed. 2553019 is the recommended size. Do you think I could go up to 2553519 ?

Baring in mind front and rear are different sizes. Would I have to make a similar jump in the fronts to keep it even ?

If it helps I'm running 265/30/19 on the rears.
235/30/19 on the front.
Might be another option for you.

You could fit them without changing the fronts.
What you would be doing in effect is changing the circumference of the wheel and tyre by about 4%. (77mm)
A 265/30/19 would be better but I'm not sure of the availability of lower profile winter tyres.
