Tire recommendations for OEM 230s?

Looking to swap out my stock runflat Bridgestones with something lighter, grippier, and hopefully less bone-jarring on the street.

Happy to stick to with 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 or upsize it one notch to 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. It's a pre-LCI E90 335i with stock ZSP suspension, if that makes any difference.

Specific thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Thanks all

It appears that Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the best tire choice at this time. Unfortunately they are not available at my sizes.

I dont run grippy tires, but I do have the stock 230's and I am getting Continental DWS all-seasons put on right now actually, in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. My last set of tires, toyo proxes 4 (also an all season) were those sizes. They will fit nice and fine on the 230's fwiw. Great choice in wheel! I rarely see them, and to date, I have only seen one other car in person with them, and that was at Mfest in Vegas, and with over 500 bmw's there or so, its inevitable I suppose The only other place I have seen one in person with them on a Space Gray was Dublin Ireland. I was like You are running those on these cobblestone streets????

Good luck!
