Hi all,

Is anyone running this size, and if so, are there any issues?

Thanks...

A mate is running these in his CSL.
He can comment on it... he is a member here.

I've run that size using PS2's. No issues as long as you do the old two paddle re-set, same as any tyre change really. I use them as winter tyres.

The speedo is much more accurate because of bigger rolling circumference. Mine went from 5% out to vitually dead accurate according to GPS logger.

Speedometer reading with non-stock tire is 4.1% too slow
When your speedo reads 60 mph, you are actually traveling 62.5mph

Assuming the cars speedo is 100% accurate in the first place, something we all know it is not.

profile might be a tad too much - on the front! :hahaha:;)

Hi guys...

Do any of you have pics of a CSL running these tyres on the standard wheels?

I have a set of rims and tyres that came of an E92 M3 and was wondering if the tires would work and look ok on the CSL rims??

The sizes are 245/35/19 in front and 265/35/19 at the rear?

Please advise...

Thx!

Hi there. I am running it in the set up mentioned - also got them from e92. Cup+ Michelins.

No issues at all. Looks like a dragster a bit at the back though....LoL

Will get you some pics soon.

I ran these on my CSL on standard CSL rims.

It handled very well, no issues:supz:

[GTAStradale]

Picture as promised...

I will try to dig out some more.

[GTAStradale]

and with the car moving....

this is with the set-up you want - plus at the front there are 12mm spacers.

Piggy back on this if I may :)

Anyone used 225/40/19 at the front and 255/30/19 at the rear.

10mm less than the standard front and rear, higher profile of 40 at the front, instead of 35.

Why would you?

Why not take your carbon airbox off too. :banana::wink:

Actually faster in a straight line with the narrower tyres.:-D

I have been offered these tyres at rather a good price, and cannot see any great downside for road use with the 4% less contact area and maybe better for drifting.:whistle:
