Where from? I couldn't find the correct sizes when I looked last month. I could find the fronts in the 5, or the rear in the 5P, but not both in both sizes - although there's only slight differences between the 5 and 5P (the 5 is the slightly lower performance version of the 5P).

I noticed on Tirerack.com the Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the highest reviewers rated tire. I might pick up a set after winter time. I am suprised that my tire of choice is not listed, that is the dunlop direzza sport z1 star specs. I wonder if they don't make the sized that fit the M.

The Star Specs aren't made in the OEM sizes for the ///M. Most people who use them on a Z4M fit 245/40-18 on the front, 275/35-18 on the back. No rubbing if you are using the OEM wheels and don't have any suspension modifications other than maximising the front camber by moving the tops of the struts inward to the limit of the adjustment slots.

PS3 are a downgrade to the PS2, and are simply the new version of the Pilot Exalto. The fact that they're calling them PS3 instead of Pilot Exalto 2 is pure marking.

Pilot SuperSport are the new PS2.

I'll stick with my Vredstein Sessanta ultracs....£480 fitted for 4
(albeit back in late 08/early 09;still getting £ of around £530 ftd,just a cpl months ago).
They are EXCELLENT in the wet or dry,especially when getting worn/unlike Bridgestones,etc

Ah yes, 5 on the front, 5P on the back. I was told it's fine to mix them by a few sources and did a lot of research before I bought them. I wwanted to stick with the OEM tyre size. They look the same, same tread pattern, sidewall and design etc.

I got them from Tyre Finders in Penryn, Cornwall (whilst on holiday!)
