Tyres! Recommendation's

[M3CSLIRL]

Hi Guys,
Ill be needing a new set of tyres soon, and just wondering what you guys are running?? A fairly good high rated rain and dry tyre but also good handling as ill be visiting the Nurburgring again at Easter.
Throw your Suggestions my way!

[mole]

Im running Michelin PS2s which I get on with very well, although people seem to be raving about the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics (see other thread).

[Mark CSL]

Michelin PS2s every time for me :smokin:

[M3CSLIRL]

Yeah i was really thinking bout the new goodyears?? any more real info on em?? PS2s seem to be the only option! :hahaha:

Two sets of wheels . pilot cups for track work and goodyears for the road...

Cups for me all year round, but I don't use it as a daily runner. Have found the cups to be fine and have lasted quite a long time. Drove back from Wales in the pi$$ing rain and was still doing a good speed with no bother from them even though they are very worn. Wouldnt like to chance it on ice !

I got home last night to find a VAT refund of £740 waiting for me in the form of a cheque!!!!

Am in desperate need of some new cups so that has come in sooooo handy!!!! Will try and get through winter on the set I have and then new set for next year !!! :-D :-D

i have ps2's,. they are good, but im going cups next!

[Mark CSL]

5000 miles out cups, is not good value for money
I ran cups on the road but could not get them warm

[M3CSLIRL]

Sooo whats the overall Handling Wet to Dry Cups and Cost?
Wet to Dry Ps2s and Cost?
Wet to Dry Eagle F1s and Cost?

Shall we start a poll :thumbs:

[Mark CSL]

i find the ps2 brill they feel the same wet or dry
cost £800 to £950 depend where you buy them from
cups are great on track but dont last long

gaz345 from this site had eagle f1s on his escort cosworth
he will be a better man to tell you but he has just got PS2s for his CSL :thumbs:

[M3CSLIRL]

Hmmmm decisions! :banghead:
Ive Been Running Bridgestone Potenza's on my Evolution and found them great! Nobody seems to be running em on the M3s... Are cups really worth the extra money for an all year round tyre or will the Ps2s Be the Overall Winner for Track n Safe enuf when it rains :whistle:

[cslgirl]

For me, the cups are fine even when it rains, just dont take the pi$$ with them or do anything too erratic! Its only standing water anyway you really have to really worry about and again, when I had that on the motorway, I just eased off and no problemo.

If you are doing a lot of track days the cups won't last long but I think you should have to have at least one set of cups during your ownership to be able to compare to the rest !

Again, will depend on your mileage - I dont do loads of miles so mine have lasted me well and are only now borderline.

You can get a set of cups for around the same price as PS2's and if you are really friendly with your dealer.. you may get them trade :wink:

I cant really comment on the PS2's as I only used them for a short time after I first got the csl and before I really got to know the csl properly

[M3CSLIRL]

Hmm :banghead: vry true i only use mine the odd wknd so it shouldnt be to bad i dont do a lot of track days but visit the ring once a year and easter will be first outing in the CSL. :thumbs: So Germany and weather permitting dont wont to lose her :hahaha: Firstly i have to learn how to drive her after jumping out of a 4wd :notworthy:

[cslgirl]

cool - would love to go to the Ring!! Maybe in the next year or so!! :thumbs: Definitely want to get to Snett next year so will see how it goes.

Took me a while to get used to the csl...esp SMG as it was my first bmw after coming from an S3 and before that, an old 1985 astra gte.

Look forward to hearing what you decide and what you think of them !!

Enjoy! :thumbs:

[M3CSLIRL]

The Ring is a Fantastic experience and any of the guys here who have went would agree! But be warned once wont be enuf as its an addiction that will eat u up inside to go back :hahaha: Now ill decide on the rite tyres vry hard decisions :thumbs:
