One should avoid using it in rain or on slick surfaces, as it does allow one to get into trouble. |

MDM is going to let you have some spin, but my guess is if your tires are really that bad you are going to still run into some limiting. Keep it on a straight road and you should be fine. It is amazing how controllable the cars stay in MDM. |

your back brakes will be gone every 15k miles due to traction control. Also, I'd be very wary of turning TC all the way off. These cars can spin very quickly if you're not used to it

Sorry to thread jack,
I'm a long time lurker first time poster, and forgot my other accounts email password so made new account. I have a 14 M6 GC CP with CCB's & 343M wheels. I'm looking to replace the tires and couldn't find the tire combo/size using the search bar. Will this setup work on the wheels i have? Vehicle has no mods and is not lowered. 295/35/20 - Front 305/35/20 - Rear 35 in the rear is tall but will it work? also the front being 295 on the stock wheels, will that work? Thank you in advance for all the help. |

front rims are too narrow for 295/35/20. You might also have trouble with the stability control. The standard ration front over back rollings ratio is 0..988 whereas what you you are looking at is 1.01 that is very close to the 2% limit.

275/35/20 - Front 315/30/20 - Rear Now, would 315 be ok for the rear? Im not looking for tire blow outs. According to the tire manufacture, the tire requires a wheel width between 10.5" - 12". I know these wheels are 10.5" wide but i would like some input regarding this please thank you |

The 305 /30 fit. Have not tried 315 but someone else might be able to chime in. There are several discussions on tire sizes on the forum. Did you have a look to see?

Because the stock type tires can’t hold grip to save their lives lol was going with Toyo R888R’s or Nitto NT01’s

patchesj Can you post a side profile photo with the 305/30 rears and 275/35 fronts? Trying to get an idea of how much beefier the 275/35 sidewalls look up front versus 265/35 stock. I'm ordering my summers this week (Michelin PS4S) and this is the only variable I'm unsure on. Definitely going 305/30 rears, I just want to visually see the two rolling diameters next to each other before pulling the trigger on 275's for the front Bonus if you're able to provide the true height measurements of the sidewalls given the different aspect ratios and widths. Using the math for how aspect ratio is calculated, the 265/35 should actually be closer in sidewall height to the 305/30 rears than the 275/35 (91.5mm rear and 92.75mm front versus 91.5mm rear and 96.5mm front respectively). Below are Tire Rack's measurements for the sizes in question, and the overall diameter is closer for the 265/305 pairing, but I know real measurements can be different too.

I went ahead and bought the Nitto NT01 315/30/20 for the rear and run them no problem without spacers, no rubbing or anything. I did do a full balance and and complete alignment and had the camber changed a little too, since bmw cambers them for turns/cornering, and i needed more grip than anything. BM3 91oct stg 2 tune, catless DP's, 2 step colder plugs gapped .028 no grip in 1st. Grip in 2nd with a fully loaded car of people, without people somewhat grip, tires spin, unless im on a nicely paved road, spinning becomes minimal and it pulls like a freight train. |

Not to hijack but I have a similar question. I might come across as a total noob here because I know we all should want shorter sidewalls, but I live in North Jersey and the roads are awful. I also occasionally drive in to NYC where the roads can also be quite awful.
When I got my F06 M6 last November it had P-Zero 265/35-20 fronts and 295/35-20 rears. That wasn't a typo on the rears, they were also 35s. When I got winters I opted for taller sidewalls and went with Sottozero 245-40/20 fronts and 285-35/20 rears. I already knew the car had no issues with 295/35 in the back and so the smaller width for winter fits just fine. The ride is comfortable, and for winter this seemed like a good decision. Now I am looking at summers and am having trouble deciding what size to get. I want to get PS4S 305s for the rear and 275 for the front, but the question is should I get 305-35/20 and 275/40-20 to have taller sidewalls to better negotiate all of the potholes that are everywhere, or should I stick to 305-30/20 and 275-35/20. The 295/35-20s rears that came on the car were 4.1 inch sidewalls on the top and the bottom. 305/35-20 would be 4.2, so I think it will fit without a problem. The question is whether there are other F06 owners out there in North Jersey (or other pothole filled regions of the world) who have had a lot of trouble with ride quality and/or flats running 305/30-20s in the rear. And I guess a follow-on would be if there are any F06 owners out there with 305/35-20s in the rear (maybe not!!) who think they made a bad cosmetic decision going with such tall sidewalls. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I can follow up with some pictures of the 295/35-20s and my current 285/35-20s if that would be helpful. |
