I will seriously consider the Dunlop if normal driving is not going to heat cycle the tire.

Doesn't say about heat cycles, but as they are going to be OEM for the GT3 I assume they will probably not heat cycle on the street. Too new to have much info on them. From what I've read they need some heat to work, which is consistent with them getting the best score in the dry in the test above but doing poorly in the wet. I'm debating between putting a set of these on the 19s for the summer or going with Dunlop Direzza ZIIs on 18s. I assume the Sport Maxx Race would be slightly faster.

So, I think the Dunlop is still probably the best choice for me for my next set of tyres especially if the price is similar to the Trofeo Rs.

I just ordered a set. I'll take the PSS off and have the Maxx Race on before next weekend. I plan to keep these on (and wear them out) over the summer, then switch back to PSS when it starts too cool off and rain.
I read a review of the ZIIs yesterday that said they are very precise but they don't like being driven sideways as much as say an R-S3. Hoping the BFG Rivals come in more sizes soon.

I personally only use the car once a week for a short commute to work, and I take the X3 the other days. Don't really mind using it in the wet when commuting as I won't be pushing the car at all. By the time I have the suspension done up, I would really be pushing the limit of the PSS. I will check out the review from tirerack. Many thanks.

Just read the review - may be no good for me if I need to get it up to operating temperature. Anyone got experience with tyre blankets ?

not much rubbing probably... I put BF goodrich R1 285/30/18 all around on my 10" ET25 wheels this past Sunday and had no rubbing driving around paddock or on the track. They do rub and deflect the fender liner front dge nearing full lock while sitting still and also a bit on the rear part of the front fender liner as well.... but no issues or noises or evidence of rubbing while on track including inspecting those areas afterward. |

So I scrubbed in a set of Sport Maxx Race yesterday and got to try them cool for the first time today on the street. Basically what I'd expected: at 60 to 65 F ambient and cold the tires are very slippy on dry pavement. It's a very progressive breakaway, not snappy, so very catch-able. However you must be very aware that you're operating with what feels like ~2/3 the grip of a PSS. By low 70s F ambient and with some heat in the tire from regular freeway driving the grip has already picked up dramatically. At that point they grip almost as well as a Pilot Super Sport under similar conditions.
More to follow, but it seems like the crossover point in regular driving will be in the 80s F unless you're pushing the tires and building up heat. I probably won't get a chance to do that until this weekend. They feel similar temperature wise to a Hankook R-S3 so far.

You think you already passed break-in mileage?

I'll post as I get more miles, I'm not 100% convinced they are fully broken in.

Since these Corsas are among the well known street/track combo tires and they are the factory equipment for the E92 M3 GTS (also for Moto GP Safety Car 1M if I remember correctly) which shares the same wheels with us (just in black) I am also considering a GTS size 255/35 19 fr (Directional) and 285/30 19 re (Assym.) set as my next set so that we can benefit from the stock wheels in an ideal manner. I am undecided between the Corsas, or yet another PSS set in stock sizes or a PSS set with 275/30fr and 295/30re. I understand that new Dunlops are not really entitled as "one set for all", I heard the opposite for Corsa system that they are quite qood for street and highway too as long as you don't have too much of a rain or cold weather. Also, another good tire is Bridgestone RE-11s but while they come at our stock sizes they don't in 285/30 rears. I know there will be a bit of rubbing on front with 255/35, it is not a deal breaker for me plus there is a good chance that I may avoid that with the Vorshlag camber plates that I will have soon. I think I could sacrifice a bit of comfort and wet behaviour of the PSS to have higher dry performance (because I spend 99+% of my driving in perfect weather/road conditions anyway).

If you go with the corsas, I would love to know your impressions. Any concern about the traction control and MDM with no stagger on the diameters? (All exactly 26")

My expectation and hope is they ease the DSC and fit the car like a glove not vice versa Stock size PSS does exactly this to a point but you know how we are, people get used to good stuff very quickly and then start asking for more.

IIRC there's a Russian (?) 1M just had Corsas put on. If you are putting on the Corsas, then why not wait till the MPSC2?
