Soon i'll change my tires from RF Goodyear to some non RFT like Michelin PS2. The thing is that i have 18' rims from the M kit 135 model if i'm correct. So it comes with 245/40 r18 both f and r. So from your experience can i mount some 245/40 on the front and some 275/35 r18 on the back? How would it look? I mean keep the same size like on the 19 inch alloys but on the 18' ones. What do you think? Is it a good move or should i stay to the current sizes? And another thing i saw at some aftermarket store some pics with the Michelin PS1 and PS2 and i was amaized to see the PS1 look much much better, have a more racing slick look like the goodyear eagle f1...and the price difference is 10 euros (340 euros PS1 vs 350 euros PS2). What do you think about this?
10x alot in advance.

Buy Continental and for staggered you can go but keep the original size. M 135 are not staggered are they?
[snapback]159184[/snapback]
[/quote]Yeah i watch F1 and i don't really care too much because f1 is f1 and daily driving is smth tottaly different. People should stop comparing those 2. Anyway if you think this way, think about what else happened during all the racing period of time: michelin got only good results if not the best in F1 and wrc and moto gp and all kind of motorsports. Michelin is on foreing land in usa a bit, where bridgestone has alot more experience...anyway that's another story, another topic...One thing is for sure: ALL my friends, and people around me told me that michelin is michelin, the best , even some emploiyees from "tire repairs" (don't know the exact term) told me that they rarely met with problems with michelins and for sure they didn't have any purpose in hiding the truth aaaand not to mention what onther forum members told about ps2. Continental? hmmm... what conti sport contact2? no thanx i have those tires on my passat and they are quite noisey.
For looks i have to addmit that japaneese tires look the best especially toyo.
What does stagger mean?

[/quote]Did not want to offend you but ask the M5 owners are the Contis good for them, all BIG BMW tuners use those

Conti sport contact2 VMAX are quite good but i saw the michelin ps2 are the best at almost every chapter (road handling, dry traction, wet traction ...) and right next to them are the good year eagle f1 ds3...right! so what to choose?!?!
I used the comparo in tirerack.com and i compared contisportcontact2, michelin PS, PS2, goodyear eagle f1, pirelli p zero, yokohama smth

[/quote]Aha so you're saying u have no problems with those dimensions. 275/40 wouldn't make the rear tire look kinda tall in comparing with 35? anyway it might make the rear wheel look smaller...what does kerbing the rim mean? and what itres do u use? thnx
