I used to be much harder on tires at track days than I am today. Big heavy cars (E39 M5, F10 M5, and especially my M550i) didn't help.

One big difference with the M2C is the immediate and obvious benefit reducing steering lock at corner exit. VIR turns 1-2 and CMP 12-13 are perfect examples where I seem to really gain on cars when reducing steering lock and dramatically reducing push to the outside line.
