: Pros and cons of each setup? My M3 has wider rear tires (245) than the front (225). Would I be losing anything in terms of performance if I went to same size tires (225) front and rear?

If you were going to run the same size all the way around I would recommend you run 235?40R17. This is the size BMW used in 95 as OE on the M3. This will cut down on some of the understeer on the car. Most people that race the cars do run one size on all four. If I can help let me know. Thank you Jim 800-428-8355 ext 364
