Hiya there just wondering what tyre i can get on my stock 19" M3 rims, My standard conti's are finished at the rear... (i can see the tyre threads on both sides) lol anyway. I can get hold of a brand new set for £250 on the rear. But they wear quickly, even though im selling the car... is there anything else anyone could recommend and what would 265/30/19's fit? ps need to change the front soon aswell... Not to bad doe i got 14000 miles out of them in less than a yr...

I think Pepper had them on his type III's.

The thread was very very nice.

Generally most Yok's are of quite a soft compound.....if you're not too bothered about how long they last then go for it. But if like me you want your tyres to last over 10k.....I wouldn't get them.

I highly recommend Pirelli Pzero Nero's.....I had those on the rear of my E36 328is and covered just under 20k with about 3-4mm still remaining! ok its not an M3 by any means, but very impressive wear still.

Yeah thats a good point. I do like my tyres to last, but im going wider on the back to help with the handling and grip especially at roundabouts whilst racing. Im goin to buy my Eibach springs this week aswell... I no no i was selling the car but dis week sumone reversed into the front of my car so i have to get a respray on the bonnet, bumpers and arches... Great. and my alignment is out so im shelling out over loads of cash this month and i wouldnt get my moneys worth if i sell up... so my M3 cab is here to stay dudes... A/c exhaust was sold today and Ice is going 2morrow and my cab is totally stripped out in my garage with no interior or trim on etc ha ha ha... let the modding begging. but cant afford new rims so im sticking with the 19" stock m3's for a while...
