Equivalent Replacement for 245/40 R19 ?
I have a F10 535 (UK Model, not X-drive); factory tyres came with staggered setup as
245/40 R19 fronts and 275/35 R19 rears. Now, its tyres are coming up for replacements. It currently has Michelin Primacy; and I am now looking to get either Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or the better Pilot Sport 4S. Problem is that Michelin does not do the 245/40 R19 size in either PS4 or PS4S, so I am looking for an equivalent R19 tyre size for the fronts. I'd like to keep the rears (if possible ?) at 275/35 R19. Will a 255/35 be suitable at the front? Other choices? I am not looking at any specific setups; just something that will not cause tramlining or other tracking issues; just something that will work on the F10. Help please?

255/35 front and 275/35 rear or 255/40 front and 275/40 rear.
35-profile will give front tires that are 3% shorter than OEM. 40-profile will give rear tires that are 4% taller than OEM. I recommend the 40-profile sizes, fill the wheel gaps, improves comfort and corrects the optimistic speedo. |
