Pilot sport cup 2's - check

But not the PS4's. I used the original PS4's that came on the care in star rated, and have not used star rated since. They are different, but not hugely so. Have you checked the star rated vs. not star rated video?

The video is here ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COA630Juf_U

Anyway, I am also currently thinking if for the upcoming season buy tires with star sign or not ... Price difference for PS4S is just 10 USD .. that is not a problem, thinking more about comfort ... Neverthless my amateur buttmeter probably won´t feel the difference anyway

The video points out some important points -what you buy in one area with one compromise you pay for in other areas.

As an experiment, I just installed Michelin Pilot Sport "All Season 4" on my F90. I was tired of the rears only lasting 10,000 miles. I also wanted something that was still good in freezing temps. They're just barely broken in with 650 miles on them, but so far I'm really impressed. I've never tracked my car, but I do drive it spiritedly. As long as they provide reasonable performance, along with lasting longer than my previous summer's, I'll be a happy camper.

I have 20k miles on my M5 non comp and ready to replace my tires. The Michelin tires from my BMW dealer with alignment costs only $100 more, so went ahead and ordered it from them. Guess I must be coddling my car!
