They are Original Alpina's 275x35x19" at the back and 245x35x19" infront.
Not to sure what happend to the originals, I bought the car with these on already.

Thanks everyone :)

Hoping to meet some of you guys at the next hookup!

@Bossie you must be carefull with your rear tyres, there is a 3.77% difference in diameter between the 275x35x18" (Original Size) and the 275x35x19", you should be running 275x30x19" on the back, as you run a risk of brake failure when your diameter difference goes greater that 3%. Running the 275x60x19" brings it down to 0.319%. Your fronts are fine as you only have a 0.16% difference in diameter.

Thanks, I was unaware of that!! Had a look just now and luckily the back ones are 275x30x19". There's not a lot of thread left at the back so I'll definitely keep it in mind with the next set.

Ok Good to hear you are running the right size on the back wheels, just want to know if the 19" makes for a harder ride ?
