Tire help asap
So I got used 18' rims with tires. The tires are in poor shape 235/45/18. My friend works at BMW and gave me two tires for the rear 255/35/18 and 2 tires for the front 225/40/18. Will the car drive ok since they are on separate axles? Any advice is a great help

Yes, the car will drive fine. 2WD cars/trucks don't need matched tire sizes front to back. That said the difference in diameter of the two tire sizes he gave you is about .1 of an inch, a negligible difference.
These newer tires are 1.3 inches shorter then the tire you are taking off. You probably will not be able to see the difference though.
