I have driven mine today, cup2’s, dry, 8-10c, without rear traction I kinda like this way…
(As I said, I forgot how sticky it was last summer.) |

Got BMW Spec Michelin PS4S in 275/35 and 255/35. Slightly larger. Love that it covers the wheel gap a bit. The tires are quieter and smoother then the OEM PSS. Looks right without the tires looking super stretched in the stock config.

I’m debating tire replacement right now. My original PSS still have some life in them, but I picked up a nail in both driver front and rear passenger tires.
I’m leaning towards the Cup2’s as it rarely gets below 40F in Florida, and I rarely drive in the rain. US folks, would you trust Costco to install tires on your CS? It’s cheaper than tire rack for Cup2’s and includes installation. I’m sure it’s cheaper than the dealer. I’ve used them for other cars without a problem, but I’m much more particular about the CS, especially with the gold wheels. $1691 installed. |

I’ll probably go to the dealer for the full replacement when I’m ready, but can’t say I was disappointed with the Costco service. |

That said, a company like Costco would definitely stand behind their work and if any issues I’m sure they’d pay for it…I’m still just paranoid and it’s not even the tire replacement it’s everything else that could happen when in a potentially careless persons possession that spooks me. My local tire shop lets me pull in, pull out, uses my sockets with protection, torques them to spec, etc. worth an extra few bucks for me |

Cup2s are great above 50F and dry. If you never drive in rain I see no issue. I've been a cup2 fan boy since getting my CS. This past weekend I was being too aggressive on a fun onramp in the rain. The rear end started to come around. Probably wouldn't have been an issue with ps4s or contis. Just keep it in mind. You really have to be conscious about the cup2s and the weather. Beyond that the feel and grip are fantastic. The RE71rs is also a great tire. Now that I have a set of dedicated track wheels I'll probably get the ps4s next time as my daily. Data suggests it's a great tire. Lasts a couple of laps on track, which means it likely holds up really well on back roads.
