Does anyone else think those tires look somewhat skinny?
The 215/245 combo is what is fitted as original to my 125i. I thought that 215 was a bit narrow, but the upside is great turn-in and steering responsiveness. Aside from junking the RFT's, I wouldn't change the tyre and wheel size.

I suspect that the i8 is engineered to be like most BMW's - responsive and fun to drive in "normal" driving situations. A track car it won't be. Although it will look the part, it won't be a super- or hyper-car.
