Any issues running two different sets of tires: PSS vs ECS

0_to_60 · 07-31-2019, 03:18 PM

I have always had PSS all around, but I found a great deal on extreme contact sports for the rears..

Will i have any issues running PSS up front and ECS rears?
Any improvements running ECS for the rears?

Thanks

No issues — they are close enough in performance. I have run both ECS and PSS on my E90M3 and think they are about the same - comfortable cruiser tires. I have had both on the car at the same time before and noticed nothing. To me neither are really high performance even if they are called high performance. I am hoping there are now PS4 sizes that will fit my 18x9.5/10.5 wheels. Since my wheels are staggered like stock and since I go through rears at nearly twice the rate of fronts, I may end up with different brands of front and rear when I need rears and decide to change brands or models.

I run this on my daily. Zero issues whatsoever. These two tires are virtually identical in every single aspect you; would be extremely hard pressed to even notice the differences.

I strongly prefer ECS over PSS as they cost quite a bit less per set, and there's no reason to cough up the extra $ imo for PSS/PS4S on a street driven car.
