The Michelin PS4s is available in the stock sizes, my current sizes, and would also allow the 255/285 setup above. It would also have the option of going toa 265/30 up front and 295/30 in the rear. Hmmm. Decisions Decisions.
What is the word on the street regarding these tires?

Yes! I have been waiting to see what others are going to do for sizing on the PS4S as I will be replacing my OE tires this spring and am definitely going to get these.
I am running H&R springs and 10mm spacers, all other suspension is original. I have no performance modifications other than a MadDad mid-pipe however was considering getting a Cobb to just ran a basic stage 1 flash.
I enjoy the current stagger and grip levels as far as it is considered 'twitchy' or 'nervous'. My goals will be to keep the bias of grip levels, but just more of it with maybe adding a hint of understeer as I may tune to stage 1.
I am having a hard time deciding between:
1. 255/275
2. 255/285
3. 265/285
4. 265/295
I've also experienced tramlining in my E46 M3 from going to wider tires and really want to avoid this in the 1M (not sure if that is possible?).
