2017 M2
Week 35 Build Pickup: 10/24/16 Tires: Conti Talked to my dealer here in the Minneapolis area (BMW of Minnetonka) about the situation & my surprise to see the Conti's on my delivered M2. He brought it to the attention of the General Manager who was upset that BMW would do this sort of thing on an M car. So the GM apparently raised the issue with BMWNA to learn more about it. |

MY16 states "MPSS" MY17 states "high performance tires" So while it sucks, they are under no obligation to swap them out. |

Don't worry, these tires don't last long - you can switch to the new Michelin's soon enough. That's what I did with my e92 M3. Contis to MPSS.

In all five texts of this updated version (which no longer contains an express 'closed deck' reference and also modified some data regarding the BMW 2002 and BMW E30 M3), the express PSS reference was replaced by:

Mine came with Contis too. At this time (1200 miles) they seem fine, no issues but obviously I do not have a side by side comparison. So for now it's not the end of the world if your car comes with these instead of PSS tires. Time will tell.

Just took delivery this past Saturday of my week 43 M2. It came with Conti's. Although I am disappointed to not receive the Michelins, I do not really think that it will really matter much to me since I will rarely push the car close to its limits and I do not plan to track the car.

My first M2 (early Sept build) came with PSS. My 2nd M2 (passed on the first), late nov build, came with Conti.
That's what I get for waiting. The tirerack reviews have my very concerned - they tend to be pretty close to accurate and with the Conti's at #20 out of 30 and the PSS #1 out of 30s, I really wish I had gotten the PSS.

Lol. Yes you are completely correct. The tires are fine and they don't appreciably change your ownership experience. |

Camber plates are a neccesory for track use on the 1M and I don't anticipate the M2 being much different. I was killing track tires the same way. Even buying used takeoffs was frustrating because I was having to flip them on the rims because they were wearing so quickly on the outside edge only. |

edit: The BMW folks I talked to said the tire size was a very specific choice.
