Default Original Tires

Does anyone know what the original tires were on the Canadian equipped 95 318TI?
I have 15 inch style 14 alloy rims.

Thanks.

I believe they were Continental Contitouring CH95, or Michelin MXV4 on a USA-spec 1997.

I have the brochures for the '95 at home but I won't be there for about two weeks.

I think most mid 90's BMW came with Michelin Energy MXv4. The replacement to those is called a MXV4 plus.

At least that is what my Ti and 328 had on them.

+1. My '96 came with the original 15" Michelins and the MXV4 sounds right.
