Not running PSS right now because they don't have the right sizes for 20". They only way would be to run PSS rear and PS2 in the front.

Edit: Misread previous post. I dont know if I want to put 2 different tire types. Looks like the best tires for 285/30/20 & 255/30/20 are the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position. Might just go with them. ed |

Not too many options out there in those sizes. I'm running the Vreds right now. I know there are the Nitto Invo which I tried to avoid like the plague and I think P Zero Neros are available too. Otherwise, going to 295/25 or 305/25 is the next best option. The 295/25 should fit no problem but if you want more sidewall height 305/25 would be a better option. I think there is a vendor on here that even goes with 315/25 for 20s.

Front 255/35/18 Rear 275/35/18 Thanks to the list members for their input on this. Great tire. No fitment issues. Simply awesome. I expected some tramlining issues/not tracking true - but there are are absolutely NONE. Quiet, sticks like glue, same ride quality and on-center stability as stock, great in rain. BTW no disrespect for our dear sponsor, but my BMW dealer beat Tire Rack's price on them, after shipping, on a straight-up, blind price check. So, I ordered through the dealer and had them on the car the next day. Sweet. Tire Rack's intro price has apparently expired. Last edited by dhoggm3; 09-04-2011 at 05:06 PM.. |

Has anyone compared these PSS to the OE size PS Cup+?
I've searched around, and saw people comparing various other tires to PSS and to regular Cup, but not a comparison between these 2. My tire shop stopped offering the 245&265/35R19 Cup+ and I don't see it on Michelin's Europe website either. I'm hoping they don't discontinue this size yet, as it was significantly better than the PS2 in the dry. I don't know if it's worth it going out of my way to get the PS Cup+ over the PSS. Treadwear, value for money or other such factors are not relevant to me, good grip is, and of course that it is a street tire that can handle some rain, which the PS Cup+ did beautifully for me. P.S.: Are the PSS noisy when they spin? I had to put some almost new PS2s on the rear and they squeal quite obnoxiously when I get some wheelspin from a standstill. I had forgotten about that feature of the PS2 while on the Cup+.

To answer your question: You'd have used the Pilot Sport Cup+ in the past and now the PSS, both on the street.

I've had my car for 3 years and almost 10 months now, fishtailing when you just want to accelerate quickly has worn off, it's only fun when you want it... I guess I just got used to a lot more grip without the car trying to oversteer (as much) when exiting the turn.

Dealer had them for about $20 each less than TR after accounting for shipping. I'm running the BMW recommended pressures and so far they feel fine. Performed great last night on the way home from the beach 4 hours in the pouring rain.

Been running them with 19" BBS LM
19x11 Rear and 19x10 Front. 275/35/19 Rear and 255/35/19 front +25 offset, lowered on H&R Sport springs Amazingly - No Rubbing! Even with canyon driving and the car with 5 people in it. I'll call it a miracle. The tire shop almost wouldn't mount them. But some how it's the perfect offset/size for an E90 M. These tires are excellent. Cheaper than the PS2's and the performance is undoubtedly better in my experience. And this is coming from someone that has not run any other tire but a PS2 since 2003. At just over $300 a tire, more wet traction, and higher treadwear rating, the PS2 becomes quickly unappealing.

Those are really wide wheels for the tire size. Any pics?

Agreed... something in a 265/30 and 295/30 might work better on the rims (but may rub depending on tire choice).
