Tyre sizes on standard 19" wheels
I am about to buy a UK 2014 F10 M5 (about which I am very excited) but it has winter tyres on it so I am going to replace those with some Michelin Pilot Sport 4s as soon as I can.
The tyres on it at the moment are 255/40 R19 Y but when I have tried to look up the appropriate tyre size, I appear to get a choice. I have an electronic copy of the owner's manual which lists numerous different tyre sizes and I'm not used to having a choice (all my previous cars had a single size - there was no choice). This may seem like a daft question but are these different sizes for different sized wheels? If I have the standard 19" wheels, am I bound to get 255/40 R19 or will other sizes fit? |

I have 20s but I think sizes for 19s are
Front: 265/40/19 Rear: 295/35/19 If you put 255s on the rear you will never ever get traction. I'm not sure if you can get 305 Michelin PS4S in 19". If not just go 295. |

I've ordered a pair of 295/35/19 and a pair of 265/40/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s which I hope will be much stickier than the winter tyres (which are Contis but I cannot remember exactly which). Sadly they won't arrive until next week so I'll have to drive my new car on winter tyres for a few days at least. |
