Tire Question

Petrified13 · Today, 07:31 PM

Hey all,

My black m2 is currently in Quality Control.

Can anyone explain how it works with what tires I will receive?

Is it random? Which ones are the best/worst?

Thanks!

It’s random. Michelin PS4S are best choice. Yokohama would be second best. Third option is Pirelli.

Tirerack.com has an objective test that includes the Michelins and Yokohamas, fitted on a 2024 M2 no less. The results are close, with the PS4S slightly better on a dry track, and the V601 slightly better on the road.

I doubt you would notice much if any difference between the Michelins and Yokohamas on public roads. (I can't speak to the Pirellis though.)

I ended up with the Yokohama tires on mine and was disappointed at first, but so far, I can't find any fault with them on public roads (during the break-in period at least.)

Mine was delivered on Pirellis, recently replaced at 10,000kms (6k miles) with Michelin Sport 4's. The Michelin from my POV are a superior tyre in the wet and generally enjoy higher levels of grip in the dry.

The Pirellis are not a bad tyre, just not as good as the Michelin IMHO.

Ok, thanks for the replies!

If there an equal chance of receiving each or is one type more common?

There is a helpful tyre poll here which answers that question for you.
