Standard Tyres

[Car-Nut]

I have bought a standard 325ise with 85k on the clock in v good condition in zinnobar red,all standard except the steering wheel which I hate as you cant see the dials ..

Anyway this isnt about the steering wheel its about tyres

They are standard 195\65 R14 make - nothing special.

What do you recommend they are replaced with.

Brand and Size

[bmwe30mtech]

Get some 15" rims on there? They are the best size for the e30 IMHO.

As for tyres just dont buy budget. I have dunlops and they stick like glue, but as for in the wet an E30 rear end is always a bit twitchy.

Edit: pirelli P6000 are apparently crap lol

HTH

[Jhonno]

P6000's are rubbish

for the same £Â£ - Toyo T1-R's are excellent

[Falkster]

As Ive said before Falken 512s or 451s/452s

[Zayyan]

P6000s are definitely rubbish.

You need some cheap 15" BBS I think, the difference between them and 14s is huge.

[plug]I have a cheap set with good tyres, but don't know where you are.[/plug]

[Car-Nut]

It has 15" BBs on there already in mint condition..... :O)

I take it the guy has the wrong tyre on them ?

Had Toyos on my Tuscan they were a good tyre!!!

[bmwe30mtech]

They are standard 195\65 R14 make - nothing special.

These will not fit 15" rims. If the tyres say R14 the rims are 14"

[Car-Nut]

Just been out to check tyres it says

195\65 R14 89H

And they are deffinnatly BBS wheels do they come in more than one size?

[bmwe30mtech]

Yes, they are the 14" BBS. They came in 14 and 15". I have had both, and the 15"s drive a lot better.

[Car-Nut]

I have a 1988 E 325i se do you know what will have come on this ?

Did 15s come on the sports and M3?

[bmwe30mtech]

You could have them on any e30, it was a factory option. You can ask the dealers and give them your Reg. plate and thye can tell you if your interested what your car had origionally.

No, M3 are 5 stud wheels, these type bbs would not fit. 15" BBS were sport standard.

15bbs were standard on sports and early M3's only an option on all other e30's

325ise they might of been standard too but i'm not 100%

M3 were 5 stud fitments and the 15's were options! (like anything else on beemers, except for the air in the cabin lol)

I thought forums were about sharing knowledge? but then theres always one sarcastic ****** . Its just a name it doesnt say I know everything about the car.

To the rest of you,

Thanks guys for your help.

[m-dtech]

calm down dear.......

personaly id get wide low profiles all round and slam the car 60mm

with the small wheels and wide tyres it will look good and handle like a cart.

Just chill out there always a bit of banter going on in the zone!! its what gives it it's "character"!!
