Hello everyone! This is my first post so hopefully I won't screw it up too bad. :roll:

I have a 2009 M50 and was thinking about upgrading the rear tire from the 170/80-15 m/c 77H tubeless to the Metzeler ME880 200/70HB-15. I have read that the 200 will fit with no problem on my stock rim. Just curious if anyone has a photo of a 200 on an m50 so I can see just what it might look like. The photo's online of just the tire make it pretty hard to see just how wide it is. I want to be sure the increase in width will be noticable and worth the money. I really like how the wide rear tires look.

thx,
todd
 
Different brands of tires vary greatly in how wide they are for a given size. That's why a Metzeler 200 width tire will fit, but an Avon 200 width tire will not fit, for example.

The Metzeler 200/70HB-15 is a half inch wider than your stock tire. If you put them side by side you can tell, but the difference is not really apparentother than that. If you need a rear tire anyways, spend a couple extra bucks and get the 200. But if you don;t need a tire, wait until you do or you will probably be rather disappointed.
