Couple of tyre questions
Does anybody have the recommended pressures for:
Front - Michelin PS2 245/35 Rear - Michelin PS2 265/35 Also, I ran Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas on the 335d and found them to be a good performing all-round tyre. Is anyone running these on their M3? Cheers Ed

StevieHoops ran the vredestiens on his M3 and if I recall right didn't like them. Took them to the ring and apparently the car handled really badly on them.

I wouldn't use vredestiens, had them fitted to my scooby and had two blowouts with them and the scooby dealer said I wasn't the first. In the end they stopped supplying them. I wouldn't fit them again!
One thing you must be careful of us the load rating, if these are not right it can make a car very dangerous and cause the car too handle like a boat, pmsl |

The pressures are indicated in a sticker visible when you open the drivers door. I run mine in accordance with this and have no issues. Can't believe BMW and Michelin just plucked the numbers out of thin air, so maybe wise to believe their research is best and stick with manufacturers guidelines?
