Will it rub?
Does anyone know if Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225/45/18 and 255/40/18 will rub on a 1-series? Stock sizes are 215/40/18 and 245/35/18.
Will be mounting on style 313 wheels. Last edited by timmv98; 03-10-2020 at 02:26 PM.. |

255/40/18 - I do not believe these will be a problem in the rear. It will be a taller and wider tire/wheel setup from OEM but I run 255/35R18 rear and there is quite a lot of room still, so I THINK you will be okay here.

Should fit fine.
Can you even buy Michelin Pilot Super Sports(PSS) anymore? I would get some PS4 or PS4S tires in those same sizes. I am running PS4 225 and 255's on my 135i... no rubbing! My new Michelin PS3’s 225’s & 255’s… https://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=510873 Dackel

I live in Western Mass where the roads are horrid and so having a larger profile (both, an even increase on front and rear) would be less harsh on the beautifully forged 313 rims when the unavoidable occasion of hitting a pothole occurs.

It’s your car and your money but I’d consider finding a set of 17” wheels with proper profile lightly used for similar money as a new set of tires. |

I think I would look at the four digit build dates(week and year) on tire sidewall before purchasing new tires. I know over here in DE, there is a law that says tires can't be very old to be considered "new" tires. I think a month or two old maximum. Every time I've bought tires.. they have been only a week or two old. Tires older than five years old are worthless bc the rubber is no longer soft and pliable. I've heard that TR sells old discontinued tires. I guess that's why they are cheap. You get what you pay for. Again I would highly recommend getting PS4 or PS4S tires. Dackel
