PS4S for all conditions except track and winter temps. Amazing incredible best tires ever. NT555 are junk. NT05 if you are driving all dry weather and track.

I second PS4s. Probably the best summer tire you can buy.

I have run the 4s for over 26,000 miles on my M2 and they are fantastic. Great all around tire and you get fantastic mileage out of them. You can get 25,000 miles out of them pretty easily and the performance is fantastic. Cost a little more but I doubt anything out there will go the miles the 4S will and not much will perform better in a variety of conditions.

Mine stays in the garage for the 3 winter months (insurance discount) hooked up to a battery tender. https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...8&postcount=34 |

Tirerack is showing the BRIDGESTONE POTENZA S007A but they haven't tested it yet.

they run skinny, 255/275 are actually perfect fit for the stock wheels, ex: ad08r are wider in 245/265 format.

Right now I’m running 245/35/19 in front and 285/35/19 in rear
I’m also tuned 50 Rwhp and 60 rwtq I wanted to keep 285s and go up 255 in front? I like the wide look in rear |

I just put Michelin 4S on my car, they have a ton of grip and seem to be very comfortable to drive on.
I have 255 up front and 295 in the rear (aftermarket rims). Highly recommend these tires. |

What aftermarket rims are you running with what offset that you can clear 295s? Are you lowered? Pics?
