Tire Rack M2 testing Ultra High and Extreme Summer tires

curtdragon · 09-27-2024, 03:45 PM

I am surprised no one posted these but they test varius tires in an M2 and give great feedback.
I see they like the Yokos but I don't think they are the same as what is coming on the M2 now.

Where this test failed, is they should have tested it against the OEM BMW star tires.

I mean sure but the test isn't for the M2. It's for the tires. Why use a tire rated for one vehicle when they're testing the tire use for lots of models?
It would have been nice though and maybe they could do an M2 specfic test.

The problem is there are four different OEM tires they would need to add. Just not going to happen.

I realize this, but for the M2 content why would we even bother if those tires don't handle as well as the OEM * rated tires regardless of manufacturer? Not to mention they decreased the rear sizes to a 275 tire. If they were going to run a square setup run a 285 on all 4 corners.

I explained it in my post above. Maybe if they were testing the M2 sure

See post above. Tire Rack was testing the tire, not the tires specifically for the M2.

I am in the camp that spec tires are not superior to non-spec (yes, I know the videos and not going to get into a pissing match).
