What size tires for this car should I get?
Just bought a 2008 Z4 3.0SI with that has 18" BRIDGESTONE 225/40R18 runflats on all wheels. I'm defnitely getting new tires now but wondering what size is reccommeded? Different sizes for back than front?
Also on another Z4 forum th most popular tire is the Falken FK's but I don't see much about them here? What's your opinon of them? Also the Hankook V12's were mentioned to me. |

The BMW recommended sizes for this model are 225/40 front and 255/35 back.
I would suggest you buy Michelin PS3 or PSS, they have much better grip, softer ride, tougher thread, and are quieter especially when compared to the Potenza (if I had to make a guess I would say it is RE050A) that you are running now. |
