Count me in as another win. Just ordered 235/45 and 245/45 for my 17" rims. Though they are bit over sized based on stock OEM size, I am hoping that the ABS and other nannies will not complain .
Now the wait to have them in at Costco before getting them installed.

I'm surprised, the one time we attempted to get tires at a costco, they would NOT even order over-sized tires for our Z3, Jerks must have a lawyer on-call.

I did the 245/45R17 and no codes or anything. They actually make the speedometer more accurate according to my GPS display. They look better too at filling the wheel well.

Does anyone know how I can find out the OEM brand and model of tires for the 2013 Z4 28i? I wonder if they have gotten better than the ones the used in previous years.

1788 USD for 4 new Michelin PP2 265/35R18 tires including mounting etc. This is the quote I got today at my local Michelin dealer. They did not have any PS2 or PSS tires on stock put I saw some PS3 17"??
Anyway, I am not getting PP2 tires. But because of this tread I started to wonder what the Michelin price level is here in China. What do you guys normally pay in the US? |

$1130 out-the-door with road hazard certificates, TPMS gaskets, mounting and balancing (this IS out-the-door) for 245X40X18/255X35X18's at Discount Tire, this includes the $70 rebate Visa card. The 800# for flat repair and flatbed towing in case of a flat also helped sell these tires. We carry a 'mobility' kit in the trunk too.

Just got my PSS installed today. Though I will post my detailed observation later, the immediate benefit is a quiter and less bumpier ride. Will have to wait till summer to fully appreciate the tires.

couple of questions guys as i want to change tyres for comfort. i have 19" rims with standard suspension and although i dont find it too crashy over bumps i do find the ride jittery even on smooth surfaces
will this cure the problem? is it worth it on 19" rims? there isn't much side-wall to give anyway especially when you factor in the high pressures. may have a chance to downsize to 18's to someone wanting the better looking wheels i assume the rims are the same for rft's or not so adding some foam and a pump to the car shouldn't effect anything??? no real difference in cost here in 18's or 19's about £630 fitted ($1000) ps we have 17" rft's on our 3 m-sport and don't mind it so much pps what are the correct tyre sizes for 18's?
