[QUOTE="anxious, post: 12995, member: 193"] Hi guys. I have just got myself a style 136 16 inch rims from a forumer. The rims comes off a 2004 E46 325i. The seller has upgraded to 18 inch. I am eagerly awaiting the shipment of the rims before I recondition the rims and get them on my E36. My question relates to tyre choices. The manual says that the factory recommended tyre size is 225/50/16. However this size is not common and costs about RM600pp. My old E46 brochures show that some of the AB E46 were fitted with 205/55/16. My questions are:- 1) Based on your experience what is the difference b/w 225/50/16 and 205/55/16? 2) Which tyre would you guys recommend:- 1) Michelin MXV8 2)Michelin PP2 3)Conti CSC1/CSC24)Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE001 5) Bridgestone GR80 6) Falken FK452 My budget is about RM400 per tyre.
