Those that went with alternative tires (non star-spec PSS/PSC), what should I watch out for? I'm concerned the OE steering response would be loss on non-star spec wheels.

Should I upgrade to 265's up front like non-USDM CS's? If so, what would be the actual size? 265/30 or 265/35?

Only do that if your going sport cup 2.

Thanks! I'm really Siding towards the PSC2's currently. Car is my only car, but I telecommute so the extra NVH is okay with me since I drive mainly on weekends for pleasure or going to Publix/Whole Foods at times during the week

I'd be curious to hear how the cup 2 are with road debris kicking up and all? Keep us posted. Clear bra?

I run Cup2s on my M3CS and have no problem with road debris.

Word of caution: Cups have horrible grip in cold temps. Even living in AZ, if the tires are under 80° they have to be driven gently even for daily driving.

Hey Loe, don't go soft on me know lol. I have a set of 265/35/19 & 295/30/20 to go on my car as soon as Spring comes around. I had the standard 265 cup2's on S4 and daily drove the car, in the cold all I needed was about 10-15 miles at highway speed and tires warmed up nicely. Slap the cup 2's and enjoy the car as it was meant to be driven. Word of caution, careful in the pouring rain or big puddles on the hwy..

To me the PSS suck and quickly over powered, I've gone sideways several times already. If not go PS4S.
What's next for you M5 or back to four rings?

I keep eyeing the RS6, maybe in a year or so, we shall see.
