I believe the reason we are seeing cars with the Conti's is because Michelin could not or would not produce enough tires to meet the demand of the M2. Tire production is a real issue for the industry because after the recession production facilities were shut down and that production capacity has not been restored. There are many tire sizes that are not being produced at all leaving folks with high performance cars struggling to get tires for their cars. If your BMW and you have to choose between having an exclusive tire but not produce as many cars as you have promised or using an alternative tire it seems like a simple answer. I hope my car comes with the PSS but I am happy to have my car on the way to me so if it shows up with Conti's it won't be the end of the world.
