Winter tire size question...
Sorry if this is a repost...
I'm looking into buying a M Coupé 08 and I would like to know what other members use as winter tire sizes.... Can I use 4 tires of the same size on the wheels that come with the car? Or since the wheel widths are different, I need to purchase different sizes (front and back) ? What are you using ? Thanks, |

I'm running 225/40/18 on the stock wheels. The rears are a bit stretched but I already had the tires from my e46 so I decided to give it a shot. Working out really well so far.

They are Yokohamas, I believe YK520 is the model, and they were siped by Discount Tire. I looked on Tirerack first at some random 225/40/18 tire and they listed the wheel width range up to 9.0 max, same as our stock rears. Again, its not ideal if you're buying new tires as its a little stretched and doesn't give any wheel protection. Just happened to work out because I already had them on hand. |
