M2 Tires - Change from MPSS to Contis
So a few members have been reporting that their M2's are now coming equipped with Contis instead of the typical MPSS.
I've put together a little poll so we can see and compare. Seems odd to me given BMW was drumming up the "unique and exclusive" PSS's designed for the M2 during launch, but we do have proof from more than one member. Last edited by gmzanatta; 10-03-2016 at 12:50 PM.. |

If you are going to put lots of track time in the car I wouldn't replace the continentals with MPSS. The MPSS is a great all around tire but you'd be better off with an RE11 or RE71r if you are looking for a street tire that performs well on the track.

Michelin likely wants to start phasing out the MPSS to make way for the replacement the Pilot Sport 4S.

For those wondering, the Contis fitted on the M2 are ContiSportContact 3's, which are a 10+ year old tire and a complete POS - in my opinion of course.
I had them on my '07 Z4MC (were the OG tires, before I swapped for PSS) and can confidently say that there is no tire out there that belongs more on a flaming pile of garbage than that one. |

There's plenty more rubber out there, even from Conti, that is better than the CSC3. |

Looks close to a 50/50 split for the MY17 cars so far, interesting stuff. Thanks to all that have voted up to now. Last edited by gmzanatta; 10-06-2016 at 10:32 AM.. |

If my car does come with Conti's is there any way to get the dealer to swap them to PSS? I thought I saw someone post in a BMW manual is said PSS was the standard tire, so shouldn't there be a way to get the dealer to swap them?

Doubtful and I don't think the manual says that. The owners manual in the Driver Guide app doesn't anyway. Same deal with tires on the M3, they advertise the PSS for media reviews/press cars but the factory puts on either Conti's or PSS.

The MY17 no longer lists the PSS as the only tire, it now says just "performance tires". |
