I was able to catch up with the Michelin reps at the event and ask why some M2s ship with Contis. He commented it was a BMW supply chain management decision not to risk a production shut down due to a supplier shortage issue. M2s are considered "volume" cars relative to other M models, so there is need to have alternate suppliers. FWIW: The Michelin PSS I sampled with on a M3 and M4 during the (dry) lapping session were very impressive. I'm used to running Yoko R compounds on my E36m3/4 for track duty, and the MPSS were very comparable driving at 7/10ths. Was not able to push the MPSS beyond the their adhesion limits during the sessions (BMW made us keep DSC on), but did check tire wear after each session..no chunking and very even-wear. My M2 arrives in Seattle around October 8th...just hope it comes with the MPSS but will be (less) happy with Contis as well. |

Update on the current breakdown:
- MY16 - 97% MPSS, 3% Conti - MY17 - 56% MPSS, 44% Conti - MY18 - 35% MPSS, 65% Conti Looks like MY18 is favoring Conti since the MPSS has now been replaced with the P4S. |

While I've not yet had my car delivered, I visited the dealer to collect the wheels to take them to the dealer to be coated before I accept delivery of the car next Friday.
I've ended up with Conti's - as will the three other people with cars from the same delivery (a week 34 build). And I've decided that I don't care - the car looked so good even in predelivery form with its pants (wheels) off. There is a depth to LBB that is amazing! I'm hoping that the Conti's are a quieter tyre than the MPP's ... maybe someone else who has had both can comment..? If so, that's a win as I hate tyre roar. |

Picked up my week 33 car on 10/14, equipped with Contis. Not sure how much it will matter, since it is the beginning of the Seattle rain festival for the next five months.
