What are the best tyres for E46 minimal or no tramlining!???
Discussion
Hi to all E46 ENTHUSIASTS!...
I have a BMW 318I 2003, I have spent sooooooooo much money making it perfect... all i need to get down now is the god damn tramlining, now i have read on multiple forums that certain tyres and even certain winter tyres can stop tramlining..
Please can somebody help me...
When I bought my car it came with 16 inch standards with continental tyres, since I got it I have put second hand 18 inch MV2s with Bridgestones (came with alloys) 225/40/18 on it, and it tramlines, sometimes quite badly?... I just wanna cure this, all bushes have been replaced and front suspension has been replaced as well as ball joints and wishbones!!... cars bled me dry!.. lol
I haven't had a 4 wheel alignment yet, I HAVE had two wheel alignment done though.
I would honestly appreciate anybody's help with this as I adore my car and its my last little niggle with it!

My wheels aren't staggered!! 225/40 all round!!... ???
Not to sound stupid but will the alloys be different sizes?? As in how do I know which alloys need the bigger tyres ??? So would the rear need 225/45 and front bed 225/40 ??
Are conti sport tyres anygood or Goodyear asymmetric ??

Goodyear F1 A3s are good as well as Michelin PS4s. They work well on the E46.
But before you do that I'd check your subframe bushes ; these can wear badly but give the illusion of tramlining.

Thank you for this.. I have had all my bushes replaced so i know im all good here.
I have read that Conti Contacts are amazing for it, aswel are Good year asymets.
Please can somebody give me a definitive or at least a high percent in which way to lean as playing with tyres isnt cheap.
