Just picked up my Sept build MY2012 with ZCP today. I also have Contis. Car does drive and feel great, however. I'll probably switch to PSS when the tires need to be replaced.

Probably means mine will be on the Conti's too. Sucky if you I ask me. The PSS are awesome. Got them on my MINI.

Same here - my '12 came with Conti's and I hate them! Only good thing is it's time to put winter tires on the car so I'll worry about buying new summer tires right before spring time.

Yep, it looks like it's 50-50 on which brand of tires you'll get. I actually have a set of aftermarket wheels I can use on the car, if needed, so otherbthan getting tires I didn't want, it's not that big of a deal. Good luck with your tires even if you are getting rid of them (PS2s should make selling them a little easier)!

My car came with Contis too. What's wrong with the Contis? PS2s are slightly more expensive, but the reviews on tirerack are pretty close, PS2s have a .5 higher rating on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm willing to spend a little more if there's a distinct advantage one set over the other. Can people elaborate? Thnx

Also, Hoosier makes the race slicks that are labeled as Conti's in the Grand AM Conti Sports Car Challenge so they don't even make their own race tires. |

Looks like across the board, it's a toss up for the 19's if you get Conti's vs. PS2's, or the rare car that gets Pirelli's. Hopefully BMW won't go crazy and will stick with the PS2's for my standard 18's

Unless you are a track monster with experience you will not notice the difference. Actually I have found since I have had both that the conti's actually "felt" a bit nicer as far as turn-in. I have PSS now and to be really honest I actually do not thinkt hey feel as good and have noticecd no loss in grip but then again I probably have never pushed the thing to the limit of where I would notice.
Its more "in your head" for most v. the real difference unless you are looking at 1/10's of seconds on a track. Conti's IMO feel better so if you are not the track monkey I think you should be pleasently surprised at the difference in favor of the conti's. Conti's won me over with their DWS on a past non-m car. For an all-season tire they worked like a charm in winter and summer, snow and rain and offered great grip. Conti's of the past were subpar in many segments but I think they make a quality competitive product now. |

For what it's worth, my M3 came with Conti's and I loved them! when they wore out i switched them out to PS2's I liked the Conti's more because I felt they were more predictable and lost their grip very gradually. The PS2 might have had more grip, but when they lost it, it was more unpredictable. Now I am running PS2's up front with PSS in the back.
