285/295 on stockers?

GladiatorOwner · 08-08-2021, 07:42 AM

Any M8 owners switched out OEM tires 275/35/20 and 285/35/20s to 285/35/20 and 295/35/20s on OEM wheels?

Thoughts?
TIA

Anyone ever got word directly from Michelin if the M5/M8 Star specific BMW tires have the same compound workup as the new M3/M4? Because if so only upsizing by one size front and rear is probably not worth it for the normal PS4S compound which caters more to wet performance than the new compound on the Star Spec'd M3/M4 tire.

My assumption is no since the the M5cs is coming with Pirelli Corsa's. Had the Star PS4S been how the M3/M4 tire is designed (closer to Cup 2s), cant imagine the Corsa's would outperform the PS4S.
