Cup 2\'s or 4S ?

Well unfortunately my paid in full set of Michelin Pilot 4S's were sold out from underneath me

I am less than thrill... I will not see the rears until the middle of June, and can't drive because my rears are done

I can get a set of Cup 2's for zero expense to me, I am reserved because everything on the road sticks to Cup 2"s...

Any M2 CS owners or M2 owners running Cup 2's that have some input on the subject ?

I am reluctant to go with them but maybe this is a blessing in disguise

Thoughts? What might you do IF you were in my position?

About what? Them sucking up rocks and debris?
They do a bit more yeah. Depends on what your roads look like. You're in "North America" which also includes Canada and Mexico so hard to say what it will do to your car.

Try another store or order online. I found their online quantities are usually accurate.

There is a supply issue according to the store manager, and it's not the first time I've heard this

They're offering me Cup 2's for zero out of pocket because they f'ed up

I don't think they're going to take an unnecessary loss

Thanks for the link Dan I appreciate it

What store?

I don't think the stores going to eat over $250 additional money needed for the upgraded tires just to lie to me and eat a loss

I appreciate your help I just don't think they would lie to me

I'd take the original star spec PSS before a Cup 2 if it's street driving you're doing.

Be careful with the Cup 2s. There are two varieties that are BMW Star rated. There is the old version which is a 180 tire and the new CS version which is a 240 tire. You will want the newer version if you get Cup 2s.

As an alternative you could always go with the PS4S in 275/35/19. I am running 255/25/19 and 275/35/19. As M3 tires they are much more widely available. No rubbing and correctors the speedo high reading error.

PPF on your quarter panels would be a good safeguard against rocks, but cup 2s (thread rating 240) are an amazing street tyre.
I have PPF behind the rear tires, and on the front fender but that it

Are you referring to the STAR symbol on the side ⁉️

God I love those wheels

For 17 miles, then they are treacherous in the rain, and hard as a rock.

It's a numbers tire, and the numbers are great, they just don't last long.

PS4S FTW
