Broke fella chiming in: I have and love the Federal 595's. They've been a great summer tire. I plan on something a little nicer once I hit the track but they have been marvelous on the street.

YMMV.

stock 135is tire options

Hello,

Looking for tire advice...

Current tires on my BMW 135is are Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
215/40/18 front
245/35/18 rear

Should I:
- go up in size on the front, from 215 to 225, and then I can get either Michelin Pilot SS tires or Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires?
- look at running original sizes, but run Michelin PS4 front and Michelin PSS rear?
- go with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500?
- Any other recommendations?

Is going up in sise by 10mm (215 to 225) in the front a bad idea on OEM wheels?

Thanks very much.

I have run 225/255 on my e88 since 2015 with no problems. Pretty common. Rest of the questions seem to be more of a tradeoff between performance and economics. Your decision.

Thanks for chiming in.

If I up the size in the front from 215 to 225, do I need to up the size in the rear as well, or stick with 245s?

(Also, I think the 135is might have lower suspension. Is there a way to find this out? I want to be sure the wider tires won't rub.)

Thanks again.

If I recall correctly, the is suspension is the same as the 'M Sport" (sic). The M Performance suspension is lower.

245 vs 255 is simply the amount of tire you want on the road. Both fit.
