What performance gain are you seeking? The car handles neutral with the factory ps2 tires fitted to it.

If you use other tires other than oem and as long as you fit the car with Bmw star rated tires the car is still neutral.

Understeer occurs only when (1) tires are really cold (2) in the wet on sharp turn

Oversteer occurs on power when (1) in the wet on exit of a corner (2) on cold tires

Otherwise you would have to be absolutely flying to produce other handling characteristics.
Thanks for the informative post. How can I lookup which tires are "Bmw star rated tires"?

I'm currently on relatively brand new Yokohama Advan AD08. I have no intention of changing, but would like to know what BMW thinks regardless.
