Can't BMW "star" spec Michelin PS2

richardallen · 09-30-2010, 02:06 AM

Hi,

I can't seem to find the star spec michelin ps2 in Indonesia.

They only sell the normal michelin ps2 or n1 ps2.

So what should I do? Will it make a differences?

I won't go for other brands.

I blew out one of my rear tires and replaced it with a used n1(porsche) ps2 and i've had no problems whatsoever on street or track, feels the same.

You can use the normal PS2 if the BMW spec tire is not available. The official recommendation would be to change the left and right side at the same time (ideally all 4, but at least the axle pair), because while the differences are not usually that big, there is still some chance of unpredictable handling if you have a left/right imbalance.
