PS4S vs PSS* vs PS4S*+PS4S
Hello, My E92 M3 has the following tyres
Rear Michelin PSS*BMW 265/35 ZR19 98Y XL Front Michelin PSS*BMW 245/35 ZR19 93Y XL It's now time for new tyres and I am considering the following options. I daily drive this car so wear / comfort is at least a consideration. Option A Stay with the same tyres Option B Upgrade to standard Pilot Sport 4 S tyres. Option C They make Pilot Sport 4 S*BMW tyres in my 245/35 but not 265/35, so this would be a hybrid approach. Rear Michelin PS4S 265/35 ZR19 98Y XL Front Michelin PS4S* 245/35 ZR19 93Y XL My concern with this option is that the E92 M3 was in production before the PS4S existed, So the *BMW variant is targeted to newer chassis and not the E92. My other concern is that mixing *BMW and Standard tyres might not be the best idea? Anyone else run into this decision? |

I would go with option B. I just put a new set of standard spec PS4S on my car, and I'm super impressed so far with the grip levels, and the comfort is a nice bonus (much more compliant than the crappy Kumho tires the previous owner had put on)

If you have comp rims, you could go 255/275 PS4S Star BMW. 255/275 PSS Star BMW have been fine, but plan to swap when my tires wear out in a month or so.
There's also a comparison of the PS4S vs. BMW version on the Tirereviews youtube channel where his conclusion is that the Star BMW is more responsive (likely at cost of wet handling). Pretty good vid. |

I'm currently in the same boat as well. My E93 M3 needs a new set of tires and I was contemplating the PS4S *BMW spec until I realized they don't make the size for the rear wheels.
Apparently they do still sell the Pilot Super Sport *BMW for the E9x but I figure the PS4S has to be a superior tire given all the technology upgrades. Hololand Did you end up making a choice? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, or anyone else that wants to comment....
