But now I have finally achieved symbiosis with the car. My body muscles are fully relaxed while driving and have re-calibrated my reflexes to the power delivery. I find the car very predictable and enjoyable to drive. I still find it need more rubber in the rear to fully exploit the S55 early power delivery coming out of corners and can't wait for APEX to release the their 18x11 wheel (hint-hint )

Will you make the 18x11s part of a dedicated track set with track rubber or run them on the street as well? The car is now so capable that it kind of deserves a track set. I would think driving to and on the track on the same tires is now quite a compromise, more so than ever. |

The APEX shod with 305/35R19 NT01 in the rear will be a track only setup. :

Not impossible I guess but that would be really sad. Hopefully it's instead something like balancing the benefit of added grip with the negative of increased unsprung and rotational weight. If those new rims are really light it could feel difficult to add too much rubber and negate some of the hard work with a new light and strong wheel design. |

I think wet grip is also another important factor. Since I moved to wider tires on my M4, the car is much more sensitive to aquaplaning.

I definately think this is a big reason why we get 275s stock on the F8X but for the GTS I'm skeptical to it being a reason. The cup tires should be pretty scary in rain already with 285s. Again, not impossible though.

It is the reason we get VERY NARROWLY treaded 275s on the base M4. We don't know yet what the tread width will be on those 285/30R20 PSC2 .
