Then the ride/comfort on the M8’s non run flat version should be markedly better.

I won’t disagree with that, but the ride of the M8 with whatever tire is just rougher. I forget if there is even a comfort setting on the M8. I installed the KW V4s in its first year.

As I say, get in the car, drive the car, if you already bought the car, don’t complain about said car, OR change car to one’s liking. Not directing this at you my friend.

Reviews put the PS4s on top of the PZeros, but they are just different tires.

Honestly, I never liked the ride of the M850 with its four wheel steering and was thinking to change some things out, but never changed a thing because I ordered the M8 pretty quickly during Covid.

I agree. I was surprised when I first picked up my M8 how much stiffer the ride was. I eventually put the PS4 ASs on it and was again surprised how much more comfortable the ride became. The All seasons are fine for my year-round daily driving needs

My M850 came with Pilot Sport non run flats and I tested it back-to-back when I was going to get to get a 24 M8 that also had Pilots, the difference in ride (both in comfort) was negligible on S Fl smooth roads. I hope the '25 I ordered has Pilots, snagged one of the very few March allocations available.
