Hi all
New to this Forum and a new owner of a 2005 E60 530d M Sport.
I noticed the previous owner has put 255/35 (winter) tyres on the 18" M Sport wheels. This size isn't listed on the plaque in the drivers door. According to that, it should have 245/40 or 275/35 on 18" rims.
Could someone with an M Sport let me know whether this is correct or not?!
Traction, especially rear end, is very poor with it breaking out of most roundabouts and pretty terrible in the wet (more so than you'd expect for a RWD car) and I'm wondering if these incorrect tyres are the culprits.
Also - what tyre pressures are people running? I've got 30 PSI front, 34 PSI rear?
