Contis losing grip
Anyone who got the Contis noticed after 10kish miles is losing grip when cornering? I noticed the car isn't as planted in the front anymore. I have about 12kish miles and I was losing traction on 3rd gear today on the highway. I'm not sure how much longer I should keep these tires and get the PS4. I want to get the most out of them if I can.

The Contis fall off a cliff. Some would say this happens on the way home from the dealer. Mine were useless at around 15,000km. I perservered until 19,000 but only because of supply of the PS4S. Best thing I have done. Went 255 and 275 by the way. Fit perfectly and no rubbing on stock set up.

On the Contis I don't really know "where I'm at" sometimes. They feel ok but when accelerating from hard and beyond they almost always slip and feel "oily"..
My former tuned 335 had PS4s which felt much much more controllabe. Of course that is a different car but I can't wait to get PS4s on my M2 even though I will runt the Contis until I have to change by law.. |

At 10,000 miles, my original Contis became extremely noisy and I'm replacing them tomorrow with Michelin PILOT SPORT 4S tires.
BTW, when I checked with my service adviser, the BMW tire site didn't yet list the new 4Ss. So I talked to the service manager, who checked and said he could get them thru TireRack. My driving is local non-track/autocross in nice weather and not during the 3 months of winter. |
