The tired tire selection...want to buy a set today

[elrichmeister]

Been running some variant of Michelin PS/PS4S on both of my E46's for years. This time around i switched on Continental Extreme Contact 02 in my Non-M, the ride feel is really nice and feel fine, but i think like the PS4S a bit better when "pushing" the car.

Shoulda just gotten linglongs. You and I both know damn well you won’t be driving that shit more than 500 miles over the next ten years.

OTD for $1100, so I'm back on the old faithful ps4s.

About 99% positive I'll be needing to send this M3 out to live in San Diego, we sell the house next week, so I'm homeless and garageless in Houston!

So if ya see a Techno M3 with Texas plates on the weekends, say hello

Hey man what the hell. I offered to take care of the e36 and 997….

If you don't drive the car, put some Falken RT660s on there and sell them in 2 years and put another set on.

yep PS4S is not the pick it once was (if it ever was)

I don't think it ever was. I think the PS4S is a big drop off from the PSS especially in wet weather. The tradeoff is the PS4S take a little longer to turn into bricks. Still, PS4S is great for a car driven a lot of miles because after 2 years they start to get hard and downright scary in the rain.

I have ps4s on my 340 daily going on maybe their 3rd season. they’re maybe 50% worn, but there’s been a couple times I haven’t been impressed with the wet performance.

If I still have the car when they need replaced I’ll probably get the conti sports. supposedly they’re better in the wet, and are a little bit cheaper.

but I don’t drive the m3 in the rain so I just put a new set of ps4s on this year.

9.5s on an e36 with street tires is crazy. But that ship has sailed, so just get 245 contis or ps4s.

Nice, I'll keep an eye out for you. Which part of SD?

I run the Continental ECS 02's on the M2, they're a wonderful tire and handle 500+ whp and hard driving no problem yet comfortable and quiet on the highway. A set lasted me 15k miles and would've done about 20k if I hadn't had the inner shoulders wear out due to alignmenr.

A friend of mine that's a professional race car driver has told me that overall it's a better tire than PS4S... plus I've had a PS4S explode on me before so I don't run them anymore.

It was a last minute, late night, purchase on the last day of the APEX sale….fomo got me, I went with what was available in the ARC8 forged in brushed…it's manageable

the clearance is somewhat questionable, clears my front shock body by 2-3mm with a 5mm spacer.

rears need to be rolled, slight rub on passenger side with just normal compression on street, but I have not adjusted camber and I still have the full eccentric range on both sides.

17x9.5 square is a very common e36 fitment everyone runs in ET35. It does require a spacer in the front to clear the strut and some rolling + camber in the rear, but not remotely hard to fit.

Wish I had more space to keep mine around.

Very nice! Cardiff is beautiful and there's some good driving roads down the street in Rancho Santa Fe.

Yes! Will be nice to drive something beside the 7k lb Landcruiser out on Saturday morning.
