My local trusted tire guy tells me the Michelin oem replacement pss tire is in extremely low stock...
Does this mean Michelin will replace the stock size with the ps4s successor? I googled if the 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 tires would be released this year as star rated but came up empty handed. |

These are the sizes I use for PS4s and they look perfect in the wheels to me.

255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 How was the street handling compared to stock? Any rubbing in the front fenders - I hear that this was an issue. Maybe the larger tire size is a good option to pursue and if I am not happy return them under customer satisfaction 30-60 days and get the pss tires instead...? |

I think that you are referring to this excellent post: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1321620 My issue has always been that since I fitted a non-star rated PSS tire to the car I was alerted to the fact that the PS2 tire was a stiffer sidewall than the non-pss tire... on the other hand Chris Harris drove on the PSS tires for many years with his 1m and he did not mention boo (although I did not know the tire size at the time). Since there is no PS2 available, and that technology is so old, I am leaning to get the OEM PSS replacement in a star rated trim to try to maintain the BMW sidewall stiffness as there has been no literature that the ps4s being as stiff in the sidewall as PSS. Maybe in reality the ps4s is even more stiff or as stiff... I just cannot get the right answer. I really really wish to preserve the stock handling, which was something that was not there with a NON pss star rated tire but could very well be with the star rated PSS. I am sure that many have driven their cars on the PSS star rated replacement and have been just fine. ...then again many here have driven the ps4s and have reviewed them to be excellent. |

Thank you for sharing the information on the handling... I would probably investigate the wider tire size as an alternative if I don’t proceed with the OEm pss *-rated tire. |

I currently have the Porsche variant of PSS and I have had the no brand one and a pair of Mercedes ones. Unlike the poster that said they could tell a difference I have not been able to notice anything. The only difference I have spotted was between the PS2 and PSS. I guess my butt-o-meter or scientific Traction light method are not sensitive enough. According to Michelin these slight variations are solely so they could meet manufacturer requirements like a wet stop in less than xxx feet or noise at x kmh. If someone knows the difference let us know by all means.
