I’ve run similar times on track with 265/35/18 square RE-71R and 265/285/35/19 PS4S, but they drive completely differently.

The 71R setup was better under braking and to apex, but the staggered PS4S is better balanced on corner exit and allows nice throttle control & four wheel drift to maximize speed onto the straight making time back up.

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.
