Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for the comments on this thread..... I was one of the people waiting for 275/30/19 Continental DWS to come in off of back order.... I decided to go for the 285/30/19 based on the comments I read on this thread. Thanks again.

Rogue Octane SSK/WSR and Zeckhausen CDV, BMW illuminated shift knob, Delivered 4/26/06 - Ordered 3/18/06 from Otto's (the Best) BMW Dealership.
My front tires on OEM166s are 245/40-19 and they ALWAYS rub on bump steering. Must switch to 245/35. The rears are 285/30-19 andthey NEVER rub.

Has anybody tried 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R?
I know some M3s that are running that setup, they look badass.
Cuz 275/30 in the back doesn't really fill up e60's bigger fender arch in the rear as oppose to the front arch.

Yes I dont know why they rec 275/30/19-when 285/30/19 is EXACTLY the same total diameter as 245/35/19 on the front. Providing its on a 9.5 inch wheel- It gives the rear a tad beefier look compared with having a less beefy than front look with the 275's.
A perfect set is the conti dws 245/35 and 285/30 in 19 inches-just the right amount of tire both front and rear

Are these all seasons?? I'm not a fan of Continentals and they seem to have less grip than the other good tires. If your in Chicago, get a set of winter tires and save your nice rims for the better weather.
In another car, I've ripped three Contis and I'll never buy the brand again. 245/40/18s In reading M3 reviews, the Contis suck compared to PS2s.

Gents,
I have '04 545I with Sport Package.
I recently bought OEM M6 Style 167 wheels and decided to go with 245/35-19 and 285/30-19.
But the rear ones caused rubbing so I had to replace them with 275/30-19.
