The ride is awesome - supple but firm as expected with new tires. The steering feel is much more precise than the old Yokohama Advans. I like the fact that the F10, MINI and now E82 have the same tires as there is a familiarity as I drive between the three.
In the end, I went with stock M-Sport sizes as later I'll be adding either 10, 12 or 15mm spacers so going wider with the rubber (ie 225/255's) might limit my spacer options. I'm running 2.6/3.0 bar pressure now and it seems to be good but I'll experiment over time.
At any rate, the old tires were done - cracking on the sides and shoulders so glad to get this off the list of things to do.
Next up in the short term is the MOT, spacers and if time allows I may go down that audio upgrade rabbit hole I dread but also look forward to.

Nice! We don't receive the PS5 in e82 compatible sizes in north america.
Assuming they're pretty similar to PS4S?
Have to say, best sidewall ever... not so relevant, but I do like the small inconsequential details.
Like this detail... may I suggest a set? I have em lol.
