9 BMW'S later, worse Tire ever by far, Continental's, road hazard issues, wear issues, junk! Most over rated Tire, Michelin!

I didn't mine the DW's I had... But the PSS's are so much better.

I'm sure BMW had to do this as Michelin seems to have issues keeping up with demand. The larger sizes are always on backorder. Probably because every moderate performance car comes with them now. Porsche, BMW, Caddy, Vette's, Merc's, etc.

They can't hold up builds because there are no tires to be had.

I'm almost tempted to buy tires when they become available for the only reason I'd be afraid when I need them I won't be able to find them.

I want to retract this statement, i just realized that my Cla 250 (oem Cla45 rims) have Conti 5P and they are horrible. In fact this will be my first mod

I'm not a fan either but I am curious to know what you find about them that is so terrible? Is it the same old story? Harshness and noise??

My 2016 m4 was held up for 2wks because of the 19 inch tires. Car is on a boat now.

The production line isn't going to stop because Michelin can't crank out enough PSS' in BMW's specs. Smart manufacturers source more than one supplier. M5's come with Pirelli Pzeros or MPSS. Just be glad F8X doesn't come with those pirellis'

I agree with the other member that said the MPSS are noisy. They are louder IMO, than the AD08R.

my '15 F80 had PSS. when i asked dealer to request PSS, they said they could not control conti vs PSS. the F80 is louder vs E46 on the road, especially if not super smooth.
