My Ride: 07' 550i sport; Sapphire Black/Auburn; sport package; steptronic; navigation with R.T.T.I.; heads up; cold weather package; Logic-7; BMW MOST ipod kit; Motorola V3 snap-in adapter; rear heated seats and rear shades; anthracite headliner; sirrius sat. radio; M-aero kit; OEM style 166 Wheels with 245/35-19 front and 285/30-19 rear Michelin PS2s.

I have 285/30 19 on style 166 rims. They grip like gorilla glue in a corner but they are too squirmy everywhere else. I would like to run a higher profile tire but I'm worried about rubbing. Anyone have experience with these sizes?

I believe there are some e60 M5s running those sizes, but in 20s.

Do it man. It should help out in the handling department that you're interested in.
