Don't buy it
Moreover as far as driving dynamics is concerned both tires are on the same performance level.
The Contis on these cars are years old tire technology, and were never rated by anybody as the equivalant of the Pilot Sport 2, let alone the MPPS. My guess is that these saved BMW quite a bit of money, per car, at least relative to their margins on the car. That may well be the driver here. |

Here is what my BMW dealer CA said to me about the Contis: "The Contis are crap."
I guess the correct word hasn't gotten down all the way through the ranks |

I just got back from the Detroit auto show and Michelin had the pilot sport 4S on display so I took some pics for you guys. The rep I was talking to said the tire is better than the super sport. It has some sport cup 2 tire tech in it. The sidewall is nice to.

While everyone else complains about whether they got a free "iPhone 6 "'or a free " galaxy 6" along with their M2... the next big thing is already on the way. The P4S will slay the SS just like the SS slayed the Pilot Sport five years ago. 1M owners couldn't burn through their Pilot Sports fast enough to mount the new, grippier Michelin pilot supersport which provided FAR better traction at the rear .. ... it's no secret that the M2 and M3/M4 all definitely can use a tire that allows the car to get more mechanical grip to the road... |

Yah, I didn't think there would be a big difference until I spoke to the Michelin rep for a while.

and.. I have yet to see anyone get the Contis and say they didn't like them or they handled like crap.... and... I've yet to find a review on them (except one from 5 years ago where it came in 3rd). At the end of the day, it is a 10 year old tire and I would LOVE someone like C&D to do a comparison between it and the PSS.

Why don't you have the dealer go check?
