Tire Help
Hey - I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on my car right now, and they are going to need replacing in 3-4 months. What's the best tire nowadays to go along with my 21" BBS FIRs?

Can’t go wrong with PS4 but pricey little biatches if you go through rubber. |

Hey guys, i know older messages here, came across this. Are people really running the cup 2's on an M8? I was actually looking into going with the cup 2s and the tire specialist right away said, "Not an option for this car, car is just to heavy. Cups 2's are for the M2 or a Porsche size/weight type of car. The M8 would rip through cups real quick. Was that statement/information incorrect? Anyone running cup 2 on their M5/M8 coupes or grand coupes? Or any other type of car comparable?

If you want to stay super premium, then Continental SC7’s are probably the best UHP tyres around now.
I’ve swapped into Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3’s on my 840i and found them to be excellent - interestingly they’re OEM fitment on the new RS6 performance. |

They use Conti's at the BMW Performance Center in Thermal CA. Having spent two days there slamming M2,M3, M4 and an M5. I have to say they worked really well. Not quite as soft as the Michelin tires, but did really well with the longer flat out laps.
All of the instructors were really behind how they work with M cars being thrashed on the track. |
