No my car always had a mild vibration at speed, hence why the dealer tried rebalancing. Maybe one of my Pzeros was defective. In any case, all good now. ETA incidentally, that dealers response, "All M cars vibrate like that," is why I won't be going back to them for anything. None of my M cars have ever vibrated like that, including my 2007 Z4MC. I really hate when they dismiss customer concerns with bullshit.

My car is just so smooth, coming from the E82 I feel like I’m driving a 7-series… if they told me M cars vibrated I’d laugh and never go back. |

Not to rub it in, looks like I won the tire lotto. Haha.

You might be able to. Check tire rack for BMW STAR designated tires. It’ll usually say it on the search results.

Congrats and looks awesome! The other M2 that my dealer received was Toronto red and it looks amazing in person. Definitely one of the best reds I've seen.
Enjoy the new car! -Nick PS - I lost the tire lottery, but console myself by knowing that less grip isn't such a bad thing in 2023. |

So, serious question. It might be my previous experience with the E90 and Michelin Pilot Super Sports that I replaced the stock Pzero Runflats with, and went wider and square, and got 0 gains from, plus my bias of having Pzeros in my car now…
Where are you guys pulling this information that PS4S* are grippier than Pzeros*? Is there a comparison or test I missed? Or are we just parroting stuff? Serious question as I’m 100% curious how we can assess this. |

Non star varieties PS4S trounces all comers, but that doesn't tell us about the star spec.

RE: the above quote: Does it, though? https://youtu.be/sKFdBXwWc9w It seems to me it didn’t have the best lap time or longevity… so maybe subjective? |

Based on a mix of reviews but mostly tire rack. But it is old data. Everyone else has since responded so that's why Michelin is coming out with a new model. At the end of the day they're all good especially for people like me.

Important to note Tire Rack only reviews what they sell.
That’s why I never paid much attention to them, especially because I’m mostly interested in winter tires… It might be that there’s a “better” (the word better is totally subjective and means different things to all of us) tire out there but because they don’t sell it you’ll never hear about… |

Agreed with the additional thoughts. Think many tires are fine and it’s rare to find a dud in this class, especially the star marked tires.
But some tires do feel different than others, and again the word better depends on the person (some like better performance in the wet, some in the dry, some want longer tread life, less noise, more feel, quicker steering, etc) Like cars, no such thing as better and all compromise somewhere. That said, I like the Michelins and would buy them again. |

Yep I freely admit to being a Michelin fanboy but that's because they usually are leading. Plus they look so much better and offer more rim protection than the Pzeros that came off my car.
