Tyre size
Hi all,
Bought 5 series M Sport 65 plate 6 months ago and looking to change the tyres now but struggling to find the right size for my car. I typed in my car reg no on black circles and they show different size to what i have on my car now. I have attached what sizes black circles showed for my car as well as the pillar card Currently am running Nankang AS-1 245/45Z R18 100W-XL Can someone please advise me what sizes should i run for front & rear or is it depends on the tyres? Thanks Last edited by rajan29; 12-01-2019 at 03:41 PM.. |

Based on your existing tyres It would've been 245/45 18 fronts 275/35 18 rears Your car came with branded tyres and the existing tyres put on might be the manufactures closest. Best option give your vin to the parts department at any dealer and they'll tell you the factory sizes Hope that helps

It depends on what wheels you have - if they're the same width all round, you will use 245/45-18; if you have wider rear wheels than the front, you will use 245/45-18 front, and 275/40-18 rear. The M Sport saloon usually has the wider rears!

Speed rating of W is low for a summer tyre. Insurance typically requires the OE rating or above. |
