Need new tyres on 335i it seems like you can't get the asymmetric 2 in front sizes anymore. But the rear 265 size (not oem wheels) is only available as asymmetric 2 and not 3. So it looks like putting the '3' front and '2' rear.... any issues with that, are they basically the same tyre as one seems to have superceeded the other? HiQ are still selling the original assymetric (1?) which is another option for the front,

Aren't the stock sizes 225/255? If you're running aftermarket wheels, are the rears so wide that you can't run a 255 or do you not want to?

On a 9" front are you running a 245 or 255 tyre?
265 or 275 on a 10" rear is about right.

You'll be fine. I'm sure most of us will have new tyres on one axle at some time or other and even if you stick to the same tyre you have one end with 7mm tread and another with say 4mm.

This will make more difference than different types of tyres. I may think twice about going super sticky on one end only but I personally would be comfortable with say assy 2 on the rear an PS3 on the front.
