Michelin: 205/45/17 - 225/50/17
I've been having a bear of a time finding replacement tires for my car. I need 205/45/17 and 225/50/17, would like non RFT Michelin Pilot Sport 4.
The 4S is not available. I see Michelin makes a PS4, but it's really hard to find. A local shop can theorhetically get a PS4 Zero Pressure, a run flat. https://www.townfairtire.com/brand/t...~50r17w/25045/ But this is not indicated on Michelin's website, which makes no mention of a Zero Pressure version. https://www.michelinman.com/tires/pi...t-sport-4.html Anyone use these tires? Or have any advice? I don't want to change wheel size, I like 17s.

Thanks, yes I meant 205/50/17. So it seems the wider fronts don't bother you at all? How's turn in?
I see your pics here: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1570551 Looks good! Quote:

M3 FSB brought back the (good) sharpness but it was fine without.

I understand that the bushings should be changed first for optimal results and have the M3 RSFB coming this week. Install happening next week. I think I will do the PS4S, I wanted those but since the narrower front wasn't available I was searching for something else.

Good choice on the PS4S. PSS/PS4S are my favorite tires of all time, and I've been through a lot of sports car tires.

17inch stock wheels
Piggybacking this post....
My 2011 128i is in need of new tires and it's on the stock 205/50-17 squared from factory. How do I know how wide I can go? I'm seeing I can go staggered with 225 in the rear, but I see that it makes the handling a bit worse. I use the car as a daily and non runflat will be crucial bc of the ride quality. I want to go wider than 205, so can I go maybe 215 or 225 all around? Would there be any modding to anything to make that happen? Any recommended tires? I know a good bit about cars but I haven't had to put tires on one yet so it's all new to me. |
