Tire question for F30 base package.

LACSTER · 01-02-2014, 12:18 PM

I just bought a set of staggard VMR V701 with this spec.

18x8.5 et35 18x9.5 et45.

I was planning on reusing the stock RFT 225/45/18 and 255/40/18 tires.

My question is what tires do you all recommend? The car is base and is not lowered at all. Looks raised to me but it's my daughter's F30

Stock tires will work just fine. No need to change if you are not lowering the car and the tires are in good shape.

If it were my daughters car, for safety, I would stay with the factory run-flats. If they wear out as fast as mine did, I would look into finding some all-season run-flats that has better tread wear rating.

My Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR Run flats only lasted 14k miles.
