Tire Question for 162's

I'm looking at purchasing tires for my 325i (non-sport) with 162 wheels I just purchased. If I want to stay with RFT's, are the Bridgestone Potenza's my only option? It doesn't look like Michelin or any other vendor offers the size for the 162's.

Also, can I go non-staggered with 8" all around?


Thanks for your help!

You can, but it will look awkward with the rear tires pushed in so much.

I had Michelins on my previous E90's 162 from the dealer! I agree, anything smaller than a 245 will look a little odd on the rears. Notice how much the tyres curve inwards (wall to tread) on your front tyres!

Yes, Potenza's are it for now in the US.
