    Default Cheap Continental Tyres? – 06-03-2011,10:10 AM
    I have been offered 2 brand new Continental Contisport 255/35 ZR19 M3 at a very good price, they are the original contisports, not the version 2 or 3.

    I think they are intended for the BMW M3, but will fit my A6 Le Mans. I'm very tempted but wondering if I might have an issue if they are not XL (extra load) rated, i.e. they lack the stiffer side walls which I think are recommended (not sure if mandatory) for the A6 C6.

    I'd welcome some opinions on this, as I'm very close to going for it !

    all 19 are extra load. you need to check if the M3 has run flat or self supporting tyres. If the answer is yes it does, they are the wrong tyres for your car.

    IMHO, M3's don;t have run flats, so you should be OK, but check with a tyre specialist
