Increasing the tire profile does help but very minimal.

Try to switch out from RFT to 19" non RFT michelin pilot sport size 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear and you will definitely get more comfort ride than your current 18" RFT. If budget permits, change suspension to KW.

I am very satisfied with the setup I'm on right now.

Do note that if u increase the aspect ratio of ur tyres,u'll also be increasing the rolling radius of ur tyres which can result in an increase in fuel consumption,added speedo error and decreased performance.
If u increase the size of ur rims,the tyre aspect ratio/profile needs to be reduced to maintain the correct rolling radius.

first time a hear somebody with a hot machine like the 335i asking about comfort tyres. they usually ask for the ultimate in wet/dry grip for maximum banzai

go 19"

235mm 35 series 19" (front)
265mm 30 series 19" (rear)

Yokohama AD08, The best of both worlds...
Soft and grippy, but you will need to replace them very soon. High wear-rate. On a 335i, it will be well worth it!
I'm currently using this tire, and I must say its better then all the Dunlop, Conti, Michelin, etc. that I have tried.

The Michelin and Conti are all over rated. Too softcore.

If you can spare the extra $$$, go for the best tire the road today. Bridgestone RE11.

DY, what kind of KW setup are you currently using?
I made a mistake by getting the KW lowering springs and antiroll bars. The car is now too low. Might have to get the KW V1 or V2.

Michelin Pilot Sport 2..i can say..

Ice Pop,

I paid RM$5400 for the AD08. You will notice that the price is a bit more then the forms' favoured brands as it is more performance oriented, 1 category bellow competition spec. The compound is softer and more sticky, hence the higher wear-rate. Coupled with 19" rims, the softer side walls won't suffer from too much flex.

Btw, there might be a waiting period as this is a low demand tire.

happy shopping.
