19s and 20s? Well. Guess I gotta buy new wheels before next summer. More excuses for an upgrade.

Any idea if these can withstand winter temps?

Though, I'm curious if PS4S > PSS from a performance standpoint. |

Future ///M cars probably. The current line-up will most likely continue with the existing M-PSS.

Just in time for my PSS' needing replacement next summer.
I'll wait to make my decision once these are tested and compared against PSS.

Sounds like a very interesting new tyre. I hope they roll them out in more sizes though. Great to see the wet weather and longevity improvement.

I recall having the PS2 on my e90. At some point the PS3 was released but was not the direct successor, but rather the PSS became that new tire to go after. If this new tire supplants the PSS then it's interesting that they abandoned the super sport naming so quickly to go back the pilot sport.
On a somewhat related note, the 4S just seems like a poor naming choice as it immediately conjures up the idea of a 4 season tire to me. Then again, what do I know, I'm just buying tires...

Pretty simple answer regarding the reason that BMW is slapping Contis on M cars if the PSS is going out of production.. even still.. tires on Sports cars/ sports sedans are sooooo temporary. if they make it 20K miles that's great... which is only 1/10 of the useable life of the vehicle..
Are BMWs getting the Conti 6? doesn't look like it's performance is far off the MP SS in the TUV testing.. A mere .4 seconds behind in lap time, less than 1.5 m longer braking in the dry and wet performance and slightly less longevity. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 10-05-2016 at 06:00 PM.. |

I just bought some pilot cup 4 for my car mainly because they were in stock. They were $10/true more than PSS and I was told the cup was replacing the PSS? Seems that might not be true but the 4s are very sticky and slightly better wear.
This is in Australia. B |

potentially good point about PS4... reminds me of a certain video gaming device.. perhaps it won't be around long and a 5 is coming. Yikes.. PS5 might be confusing with PSS... |

Still, the tread pattern for the two do look very similar. No doubt there are differences in the compound and perhaps in the construction. Though, it's tough to get specific detail because I can't find any information from Michelin that compares the two. However, it's clear the PS4 is available in smaller sizes than what the PS4S will be offered in initially. Similar confusion arose in the past when the PS3 arrived as a non-successor to the PS2. Still don't understand why Michelin makes it so hard. PS4 on top, PS4S below |

Fml, I literally just bought a new set of MPSS for my new HRE's and threw them on today. I was really happy until I read this. Bad luck Brian over here...
