Buy a set of Style 397s and stick with 235/45/18 tyres

You'll be fine

That's exactly what I'm running for both summer (235/45/18 Goodyear Assym 6s on BMW 18" 405Ms) and winters (235/45/18 Goodyear Vector Gen3 all season tyres on BMW 18" Style 397s)

I live semi rural here in the UK and my local roads are horrendous at best

Wheels/tyres are spot on

Summer 405Ms:


Winter 397s:

+1.

Smallest diameter wheels that will clear your brakes and slightly taller tires will help.

does your not having a budget mean, not much of a budget? or a wide open(unlimited) budget?

it makes a difference in what i'd suggest
