That was like 7 years ago, right? The compound and other various stuff has been changed since then and the M2 tires are "star-spec." Tread design and depth, compound, etc. are likely different to normal or another manufacturer-specific CSC3 tire.
BMW has done this in the past, so no news here. Only ca. 60 % of M5/M6's come with Michelin rubber, for instance. It is kind of unfair from them as they are always boasting about model-exclusive Michelin tires (nothing unusual for OEMs to do) and then silently adding a new factory tire after one model year, though I bet it's just a matter of supply and demand.
As of MY2016, they also put Continentals on non-ZCP M3/M4's with 19" wheels. 18inchers and Comp packs have Michelins. However, those are ContiSportContact 5P's.
Now, why the old Contact 3's for M2? Why not Contact 5P or even the newest Contact 6 (on par, if not better, than PSS)? I guess they haven't finished developing the tires for BMW.
By the way, I don't know if anyone knows this, but in ETK there are two OEM tires for the M2 - PSS and Cup 2... Could this be a hint of what's to come in the near future?
P. S.: Y'all mad about Contis, but there are people on this forum who have got much worse tires on their modified M's.  |
What sizes for the Cup2 ?
And yes that does sound like CS equipment
