Thanks Monkey!

Interesting that the original tires had a UTG rating of 80.
I wonder how that would compare to a current 200TW tire.. knowing how far things have some and how manufacturers always blur those rating lines.

When it comes to wear, I imagine it all boils down to how one drives, where one drives (low wear highway or city driving with turns/tire scrubbing), and the biggest, how many track days/autoX/canyon road runs one undertakes. Reading TireRack’s Buyer Reviews and comments, these tires, if used hard, make a handful of events. As for these tires, in the video, didn’t Jethro say the Michelin P4s on that CSL remind him of similar levels of grip on the original tires? My experience driving on krazy glue tires (P Zero Corsas) is mind bending & very fun in dry warm weather on the street; in cool and especially rainy weather that presents standing water on the road though, the Corsa tires were nothing less than treacherous on the street, as one would probably expect. Tires make horrible water skis - 🤪

I moved the Monkey's posts into the e46 M3 press/media sticky, as that seems like a more logical place for them.

Ok, but now you're the "monkey."

Makes me wanna unblacken my OE ZCPs, side grills, front kidneys and rear diffusor and put them all to csl spec. The stance of this car is so perfect, and in the video kinda love that its scuffed up and looks to be driven long and hard. Also... that road :O
