Need some help!
I have 325i 2006 with 24000 miles on it.I have original Bridgestone 205 55 16 RFTs.These tires have deteriorated significantly in terms of comfort and ride.They were pretty quiet during the first 10,000 miles but after that they started making unbearable noise.At 65 miles/hour it sound like you are sitting in a helicopter.
I am also struggling to get rid of these tires and replace them with regular 18 inches tires. At this time I don't care much about RFTs.

Any suggestion:

1. What wheel and tires i should go for. RFTs VS Regular what options I have?
2 Do Contiprocontact SSR runflats,come in 18 inches.
3. Will there be any significant effect in handling if I go two numbers higher. (I mean from 16 inches to 18 inches).

Steve; On the door pillar, it should state what size tires you should have. This has a RDW system and must have the correct size and type tires for everything to work properly. Keep in mind, the larger the wheel size, the shorter the distance from the road to the wheel. This will cause not only 'road' noise, but a much rougher ride. Looks cool?, but had disadvantages.
