I'm on a road trip through Thursday, we'll see if I hit rain during it as well. Going down the Blue Ridge Parkway and such.

I didn’t do highway with them in the rain yet, I assume they’re fine then, not expecting them to hydroplane and such. Front end grip is good.

My issue is getting going. Even without a lot of throttle it spins up a lot, and low speed city turns cause the rear end to get loose very easily. Try those if you can please, to see if I’m crazy.
My tire pressure is 33.

Justin understood it, so it wasn't something I miscommunicated.

But whatever.

Just to put an end to it, here’s a snapshot of the video I posted, which corroborates my statement and suspicion.

Installed M Performance HAS with just a 15mm drop (10mm is BMW recommended if port installed). Very subtle but noticeable difference, IMO. No degradation in ride quality at all either, that I can tell. Also have 12mm spacer up front and 15mm in back.

Before/stock (top) and after (bottom).

Also highlights how different lighting really shifts the way Brooklyn Grey appears.

So your example of how well an "Ultra-High Performance" tire performs on a "M car" is to post its time in the wet?

You understand this is a performance car which is why you put UHP tires on it in the first place. Dry handling is what matters.

I think the weather played a bigger role on how the BG looks between your two pictures (sunny vs wet/rain/clouds).

I would add to dry how it perdirms in sry with warmer/hot temps.

Star spec seems to have been geared towards “lap times”, which are done in the dry.

I suspect the star spec Michelin is as useless as the Star spec Pirelli.

I had the “opportunity” to drive the Michelins through an intense thunderstorm with hail and near zero visibility on I80 Indiana bound for Chicago. Was pissed that I might get hail damage and relieved when it was ok. The Michelins did very well. Of course they only had about 800 miles on them, so we’ll see what happens as they wear.

After getting partial PPF and tints/windshield done, took it up South Mountain to get a little twisty practice in. Not a place to push it. I assume bicyclists around every blind turn, but an enjoyable drive for sure.

Ya you gotta watch for bikes for sure on there. I live down at the base of it as well. If you want some fun twistys head up north a bit and hit the old 89a between Flag and Sedona. Definitely some fun switch backs. Mine can't get here soon enough...

Did that drive years ago with a rental Camry. Would love to do it with my M2. Need to pick off-peak times. Also need to plan a Devil’s Highway trip.

Nice! What did you do for the custom mid pipe mod?

[M2siast]

Booked it in to get a new windshield in July.

Will do once I get the chance. Need to take some.

All I have right now is the other side profile.

Thank you. Looking forward to.

Just finished a 2000 mile, driven hard, road trip. Just about 4200 miles on her now.

It was completely isolated and boring. I'm flipping mine in the classifieds.

[JustinHEMI]

New tires installed! 285/35/19 front, 295/30/20 rear. So much better on these wheels, and PS4S are so much better, period, than those Pzeros!

Those Pzeros always had a vibration, despite being rebalanced thrice by different shops including the dealer, that's now gone with the PS4S! Very happy. All "buyer's remorse" for getting new tires so soon was washed away when I... went fast..., and it was smooth as ice.

And the ass will still kick out if I want her to. It's not a drastic increase in width, but in the limited driving I've done so far on them, it "feels" better. That could be placebo right now, but time will tell.

Now she gets a bath to clean 2k miles of road trip grime off her!







Chonky tires compliment the chonky ass.

I see you didn't make it on the P Zeroes very long

Just over 4K miles. The stretch on the rear was really bothering me.

What do you think made it better?

It’s strange you had vibrations, I never felt any. Did the vibrations start when you mounted them in the new wheels?
