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.

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. |
