Re: Tires... S70 1998

Two years ago Road and Track magazing tested a BMW with three sizes of oversize wheels and performance tires. They did skid pan, braking, and lap times, and I think something else.

The result? The original size wheels and tires performed the best!

It seems that the suspension is probably tuned for that size.

It could be that the automotive engineers that designed your car might know what they are doing.
