I hated the PS2's that came on the M3. Only tire I've had that just didn't work for me, for whatever reason.

I have RE-11s on the E90M3 and just put PSS' on the E46M3 to replace the RE-11s I have on the other set of wheels (RE-11's are worn way down and the E46M3 is my wife's DD). The PSS are way softer than the RE-11s. Huge difference in ride quality, but surprisingly, only a slight difference in performance. Cornering with PSS takes a while longer to set than with RE-11's, due to the much softer sidewall on the PSS (tire guys love PSS').

I would have put RE-11's back on the E46M3 but the $70 Michelin rebate was there and RE-11's seemed to be out of stock (via costco) in my sizes.

The plan is to go to NT-01s once I wear out the RE-11's on the 2nd set of wheels. I usually frown on R-comps since I only do driving schools anymore, but I just go through the RE-11's so fast and w/the newer M3's, need a bit more grip to keep up!
