PSS tire recommedation size for 19s & Alignment
Can anyone provide me with the optimal tire size for 19inch rims for a 35is/35i and the best or correct alignment specs?
I am looking to get some Michelin PSS. What is the difference between the PSS and PSS2? Which is better? |

I got the standard 19 inch rims. 326M?
Just found out I cant get Michelin PSS to suit in Australia (according to their website). I know Dr Stig used some Goodyear Asymetrical 2 - what size would fit? Could I got to a 265 or even a 275 on the rear with the standard rim width? |

I have the 19" option wheels on my 35is. I got rid of run flats and have 235 35-19 of front and 275 30-19 in rear. No problems

Here is an alignment spec sheet that someone once posted.
I can't endorse or deny the factual content, just fyi.

Just got the car back this afternoon. Fresh Michelin PSS 235/40-19 (F) & 265/35-19 (R) on the updated 296 design rear rims that were recently replaced via the BMW Tire & Wheel Insur due to cracks in both. Rides great as all the previous PSS uses already know. The tires are about 1" taller in OD than the stock 225/35 & 255/30 RFT's. Fills up the wheel well nicely with no rubbing issues. Two fingers space at top - perfect. Looks like a real tire on the rims in place of those darn rubber band looking RFT's - IMO.

The 245/40's (F) Michelin PSS have an OD @ 26.7" OD (sizes vary +/-0.2" from brand to brand) and that will rub on the inner plastc well as stated by Hoa. Do your homework, think, measure. All the data is available on the "Tire Rack" website. If you want to play it safe and not do the work - buy the stock sizes.

I am really surprise that you ain't rubbing...but then again i dun really rub unless i am doing about 160-200km o and the gradual humps become more speed bumpish. |

But, wouldn't changing the overall diameter require reprogramming/calibration, otherwise your speedometer would be off. Since you're diameter has increased, wouldn't you be going faster than indicated. |

The difference is very insignificant. Do the math... Actually it would make the speedo more accurate since it is off by 3mph on our cars.

The ride is heavenly smooth (in Normal) and the grip is wonderful (no more understeer) compared to the harsh ride and understeer of the RFT's.
