BMW 5 Series GT - which tyres offer the best comfort?
I need some new tyres for my BMW 530d GT. It is currently fitted with 245/45/R19 front and 275/40/R19 rear. These need replacing soon and I am thinking of fitting BMW recommended 245/50/R18's front and rear. What ride difference will I get and also improved wear and tear?

You'll obviously have to change the wheels as well and might get a bit more oversteer with less rubber on the back. You will also need a 4 way laser alignment for the new wheels and tyres at a branch of www.alignmycar.co.uk and the steering angle sensor re-set. But ride and wear rates should both be better.
