Picking up my new ( to me ) 535d msport tomorrow and it has the 19 inch wheels on it with non runflats. Now the pervious owner has fitted falkens but .... front 245/40/19 and rear 275/40/19 now I know they are the wrong size but at the moment only the rearsneed replacing.

So the question is what to do ? Should I go 275/40's again (look a little big to be honest) or 275/35 or 275/30

Any help greatfully received, the car has driven perfectly well on the existing tyres for at least 40k but I know they are wrong

Any help greatfully received
Thanks
Phib

I would go for 275x35x19 to match the rolling radius of the fronts. 275x30 would be too small. My 645 19's have 245x40 front and 275x35 rears from the factory.

Yep you need 245/40/19 and rear 275/35/19 - that's the factory fit and I'd say that's reason enough

Apologies - I've just double checked mine and they are 30 profiles on the rear.

Sorry!

Yep, thats correct.
I'm having a pair of rears fitted today. The dealer has price matched a few of the online sites.
