I guess it depends on what sort of mileage you put on your car. For anyone using their car as a summer only vehicle, they will probably age out the tires (around 5-6 years) before they wear them out, so why not use something sticky with a slightly lower wear index?

RTQ.

OP uses it as a daily with no desire for maximum grip, instead prioritising being more comfortable and quiet.

How in the world do you combine this in a DAILY driver??? Sorry, but PSS is not for daily driven cars....

BMW seem to think so... they come standard on a lot of the M performance cars such as the m135/140 and have for many years...

It's not a Michelin cup tyre... just a really good road tyre, they have lovely supple sidewalls which means the ride quality is much improved and they are relatively quiet on the road.

Driving daily or not, it is still a 340bhp rwd car that deserves some good quality rubber (IMHO)

I'm sorry to be blunt but what are you talking about? Of course PSS are suitable for daily driven cars. Are you mixing them up with Cups?

I have been looking at tons of reviews and specs over the last couple of days as I need 4 new hoops to go on a set of 19's I'm ordering soon.

I've decided to go for Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetrical 3's.

Superb reviews and great bang for buck

Are PS4 available in the standard size for the Z4mr?

Yes.

£130-ish for fronts
£170-ish for rears

I'm looking at new fronts, can't find any non-xl F1 asymmetric 3s, am I better off sticking with the 2s or going for the newer tyre in XL format?

I've been running the PSS XL for about 5 years.

As above but 3yrs:)

And all new Ms came with them as standard
Then a blip for zeros when had a good tyre deal now back to mss
Guessing 4s once they have dried up

I put Pilot supersports on my 911, they last a long time and work well on the road and performed very well the few times I was on a track. obviously not as well as the supersticky tires on the hardcore track cars but adequate for me..

Michelin pilot super sport catergorically can be used as a daily drive. Have them on my 335d (57k) and only on second set since buying new with car. Also had them on my old 335d and notched up nearly 30k on rear and 38k on fronts. And just for balance also have them on my z which does hardly any miles.

Highly recommend MPSS tyres for performance and wear, quite loud tho but not a prob in the zed!

What are the thoughts on PS4 over MPSS'? Summer only car (will be used some winter days).

Currently have MPSS' and they are great, so don't want to change and be disappointed.

You're really wanting the PS4S to replace MPSS like for like.
