PS4S gets greasy after 15-20min but you can't kill them if you have proper camber. 71R will last if you keep hot PSI below 35 and don't slide them.

255/285/35/19 71R on OEM wheels is the fastest tire combo you can put on an M2 bc you get the grip and staggered benefit. Only slicks or 265/35 305/30/19 71R on wider wheels are quicker.
Did you run 265/35F 285/35R PS4S on OEM wheels ?

much worse turn in that 255 ? Any rubbing at the front ?
