New Michelin's, different size then OE

shaftc · 03-15-2019, 08:46 AM

Hello, I got new Pilot AS3 plus tires yesterday on my F30 with 397 wheels at Discount Tire. They tried to get the 225/45/18s on but they weren't staying on the bead and not holding air. The manager recommended the 245/40/18, which I agreed to.

You guys run into or heard of this? They look and ride good.

Thanks.

245 40 18 works well on an 8" wheel. No problem there.

The OE size should have worked as well though, which is odd.

Was odd. They got one setup with OE size and it didn't look as square than the Pirellis I had on.
