Keep in mind that the factory tires are paired with the suspension and generally set up for the vehicle to be neutral in the handling department with a slight understeer. There is nothing wrong with going a few sizes wider in the front to help the car come around better.

I'm currently running a 255/35/19 PS2 upfront and have no issues what so ever. Car handles like it's on rails.
I'm literally searching for the past week for tires. My 330i has 225/45R18 run flats. When you look it up, you'll see barely any options. Any very little of those are decent. I'm genuinely considering going the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 ZP route and hoping they hold up in winter. LOL
