http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1358846 According to Continental, the "SportContact" line of tires are bespoke tires for certain cars. Continental is a European company and it doesn't surprise me that the SC6 is prevalent to support those European cars the tire is made for, as well as other cars that use the same size tire. The EC Sport just came out in the US last month, so keep an eye out for it. |

The statement you posted (not particularly originated by you) makes no sense when looks at reality because special versions are made (and designated) for OEM, such as the special Audi Designations widely available. Considering the large number of sizes the SC6 is available in, this goes much farther than the few models it comes OEM on. As you noted, Continental is an EU Company and the EXTREMECONTACTSPORTS are NOT AVAILABLE there. So the explanations make no sense with reality. And Again, the SC6 beat the MPSS, not a tie. So the statements (and reality) are nor consistent. |

Not necessarily because it was focused on the US-domestic market, but sure, it can be viewed as contradicting. I asked continental for clarification and they did state that the SC6 is offered as a replacement tire in europe, not in the US.

My M3 is arriving on 20's PSS with the Competition package. I'm planning on selling them brand new, and replace them with 4S, do you guys think it worths it ?

Well that sucks. Am I remembering correctly that you went with the 265/285 combo? I got my UPS tracking info yesterday for Monday delivery for my 255/275 setup. Hopefully I'm not about to get a similar gut punch email...

If I had ordered directly through TireRack I would have been fine. It seems like they prioritize direct customers over vendors as my tires were ordered well before another guy I knows and his all shipped. My fronts are at the shop just have no rears. |

They make a bigger profit selling direct instead of wholesale. I can see where orders up to stock arrival would bump you in the queue. |

Finally got my MP4S's today. I wanted to put them next to my PSS to see what differences there was in the tread design other than the obvious side wall design. There are several changes in the tread pattern as well as tread design placement. Here's a side by side pic with the inside outside orientations matched.

That's a very large tire compared to your front! What wheels are you putting those on? Looking forward to pics installed. I ordered a set of MP4S directly from Discount Tire yesterday, they should be here next week!
