I'm switching my Conti RFT's for a set of PSS. What is the best tire sealant in case of a puncture?

If this is on an E9X M3, your OE tires were not runflat, and you should already have a BMW compressor and sealant kit.

If not, the Continental ContiComfort Kit works well. OEM and TUV approved, sealant cartridge is replaceable when used. Latex based sealant is easier to unstick from your wheels than many others.

Ben,

Sorry this isn't in a PM but I don't have enough posts yet. Do you know if and when the PSS will come in a 265/35/19?

Thanks

Just don't buy any Pirelli tires, they are not very good.

Sorry, I just have to point out that in the reflection of the paint is the guy taking the picture and he's wearing a Michelin hat... Bias much?

P.S. I bought the Conti DW's for my Wife's A3 and I picked up Pilot Super Sports for my X3. They're both very nice tires, but I do like the Michelin PSS better.

.
It was a Michelin event . They have two identical cars setup up with different tires. Everyone drives the same circuit with both cars back to back for a direct a/b comparison. Both cars were driven equally as long. Both tires were brand new and properly inflated at the beginning of the session. I don't work for Michelin and am not affiliated with them in any way, not sure where you are drawing any bias from

biased or not, I don't like the conti's. I have both and the PSS wins hands down. Sure the conti's are quiet, but thats about it. The conti's feel soft and numb, horrible turn-in.

I find the DW to be very comparable to the PS2 for street driving and canyon driving. It follows that the PSS must be better than both.

For those of us that are not track stars, I think the DW is a good tire.
