Hi,
I just measured the tread depth of my pz4s. I bought the car used with 17000kms,I’ve had the car for 3months (18600kms). Initially I thought the tires were ok, but I am not pleased with wet surface handling and they are too loud in my opinion. I also have this feeling of the car bouncing to the right when hitting a pothole with right rear tire. Tire tread measurements in the picture (mm). Notice: right rear tire is a different model with 280Tw not 300tw. I am thinking of getting Michelins and having an alignment service done. What do you think? Thanks in advance! |

Well, I actually understand it, I had pirellis on my x5 and they were very good, but these tires just don’t really bring the performance I was looking for.

I love PS4S and plan to switch to them from the Pirellis, but has anyone gone from PS4S to Cup 2s? Worth it on a daily assuming I don't mind the cost of lower treadwear?

I was just wondering the same. I was pricing out tires on Costco.com and Cup 2’s were cheaper than the PS4S. I’ve never priced them out before but assumed the cup 2’s were generally more expensive

P/N from Michelin for the specific tires are fronts 21325 and rears 66946. There's a lot of PS4s part numbers that come for different manufacturers and also the generic ones, those two specific part numbers are the BMW Star Spec models. |

I'm sure there's a transition period, but the PS5s don't exist in the 19/20" tire setup these cars have yet.

Just take it slow in the rain. They are way better than R888's in the rain that's for damn sure. Plus, we never get rain here anyway. I was able to drive 20mi in to work last week in the middle of the "atmospheric river" we had. It was sketch lol but doable. Definitely make the switch to Cup 2's... One important thing to point out is with the PS4S, you will get great grip at any tire temp. With Cups, you could easily spin out and die if they are colder than 80 degrees, so seriously take it easy until they are warmed up. But once they are warm... wow they HOOK. The turning/handling grip is insane, it feels like the car is on railroad tracks taking corners. Last thing, if you constantly beat on your car you will probably get 8-9k miles out of a set. I beat on my car a lot but still usually manage 10-12k from a set of Cups. |

I have cup2s and I agree with what ppl have said above. Amazing grip and traction (like next level compared to PS4S) but it’s very finicky to use. If you daily your car and/or live in a place that has inclement weather, I wouldn’t recommend it. The PS4S is more than adequate in most weather conditions. Ppl in the pcar community decided between the PS4S and Cup2 based on how often they track the car (if that helps your decision any)

If you take a random set of 100 members on this forum, 99 would say Michelin all day without hesitating. You will never see someone who prefers Pirelli over Michellin ever at a track... |

If you aren’t tracking and want to save a bit of money. Price to performance the Continental DSW06+ are amazing.
More tread life, longer lasting compound and very little noticeable performance decrease in xDrive models. |
