Ok thanks....should I be caring about, or discounting PS4S tytes that are XL tyres, or does it not really matter?

correct, so the image shows a 10j wheel (10x25.4mm = 254 mm), as indicated by rim width.

ok I think I'm getting it slowly thanks....did you just knock that up - pretty impressive!?

Would I be right in assuming there is no real demand for second hand Bridgestone 19 Run flats?

...the ones I'd be taking off have only done 14K and look like they have plenty of tread and are undamaged....suppose I could store as a spare, bulky as they'd be.

no its from the BM autosport site, as I'm working out which tyres to get on my 19'' 9j ET 35 front and 10j ET 40 rear wheels

I am ditching the Bridgestone RFT myself, and will put PS4S on in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19, but this is subject to much debate. 255/35/19 rears is also an option.

So I am about to make the change....regarding the debate...presumably 265/30 is wider with lower sidewalks but that can potentially cause rub. The 255/35 is narrower and has a higher sidewall, so better comfort, doesnt look as good/even hight...does the hight make any difference at all to look or handling?

I made the move to 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 (PS4S) and there is zero rub and the ride is transformed. The look is spot on, 255/35/19 rear would IMO be too tall, but others use it and are happy with it. The RFT on the E89, especially in 19”, is an abomination!

Ok cool thanks, bit more expensive even on the kwik fit 10% discount but I'm tired already of the thuds, especially with the roads getting worse by the minute.

Fitted today and took then down the potholed road to the supermarket for a big 5 minute run. I can already tell the difference. Hopefully transformative for the £625 outlay
