I made the mistake of buying 205/50/17 nokian r2 this year. Put them on about a week ago and they were two skinny for the car. My car was all over the road with them. Traction control was going on every time I went moderatley into a turn, also the back end was very squirrelly. Not sure why BMW would recommend 205's for a 135. Luckily my wife needed new snows for her mini so I put them on her car. Much better match. Went out and got the x-ice in a 225/45/17, much better on the road. Anyone out there considering the 205 tire size for a 135 should reconsider IMO.
