Tyre Sizes - Easy one

[DJL1987]

Just a quick one, I know my tyre sizes are wrong, just wondering if someone could tell me the correct ones and a recommended tyre pressure.

15" BBS alloys, on a 318is if it makes any difference. Help please

Stock would be 205/55/15, some people prefer 205/50 for a wider choice and slightly lower sidewall.

I run 205/55/15 Dunlop SP9000 and I think they are fantastic, the most popular recommendation is Toyo Proxes.

I'd still want the same overall diameter as the standard 14's for the sake of gearing, but I was unsure as to the width and profile because I was told the tyres weren't the correct size, just the previous owner knew they "fit" and he preferred them. 205/55 you say though, thanks

I find 30psi to be about right,all round.Touring may get slightly higher pressure at the rear if I am carrying something heavy....such as my late mother-in -law....

You're using your touring as a hearse?!?!

I can highly recommend you make contact with a local zoner to you called Dezzy, he runs a tyre & exhaust place over at Preston Farm and I'm sure he'll see you right with a good deal for some new boots.
