My Ride: 2011 520dA coming up.
During our Dutch meet Ultraplanet noticed that I have 18/45 front tyres and 18/40 on the back.
To be honest, I never noticed it.
My front tyres were replaced with Goodyear non-runflats after a puncture. Seems that I ordered the wrong wheel size.
When I look at the car now it is noticeable that the front fills the wheelspace better and it looks more massive, in fact i like it better this way and they are far more comfortable.
Also the speedo readout did not seem to have changed (perhaps it's measured at the rearwheel?)
I compared it to a portable gps and there is only a minor difference of about 5km's on the plus @ 120 which I believe is normal.
So far I noticed no scraping or other disadvantages, maybe something to watch out for?
have a look...
