Funnily enough, I'm off to see the tyre man this afternoon for the same thing..
Having had Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2's on the old e85, and absolutely loving them, I'm seriously considering the same on the e89. But will see what he suggests too, before making final choice.

Could do a lot worse than a Goodyear I really rate them too. Just put a set on my misses Mini and had a set on my previous Z4

I did the same a few weeks ago and I couldnt find anybody who could compete with Lovetyres, bought two Michelin PS4's delivered the day after ordering and a sizable saving off the usual on-line sellers.

Those reviews only mention the Pilot Sport 4 but the Pilot Sport 4S is now available and they sound like a huge improvement given the reviews. I think they fall into a higher performance category than the Pilot Sport 4. Such a confusing naming convention.

4S isn't available in 18inch sizes yet annoyingly

The 4S is the PSS replacement I think but some people still prefer the PSS over them in the dry weather.
