Michelin PS1 revisited
 
I've said it before (elsewhere) that I'm not impressed with my brand new Michelin PS1s. Actually I'm disapointed and thought the old Conti they replaced were better (and cheaper).
Could this be the cause?

He mentions an M3, but I don't see why they'd have adverse effects only on the M and not the regular 3, since they share the same platform.

I never had problems with my PS1's on my M3.

I liked them a lot.

PS2s are much better, you should have gotten them.

This problem only seems to be an issue for cars with the 19's. There are numerous posts on other boards from people with similar issues and all of them have the 19" wheels.

They were not an option for my wheel/size.

You drive like my granny and you won't track your car. :lol:
I will know how good they are after next week's TDE.

Yes they are.

I dunno how many of those newer 'Fest posters are true car enthusiasts and know what they're talking about, or they're just lemmings that jumps at every little "post" made about their car.

How anyone can be gullible enough to believe that their special "m3s" are sensitive to a specific tire is just beyond me. If anything, the only BMW that is sensitive and needs to run a specific tire are the ZHPs.

Maybe it's time for alignment, you've got enough miles on your car to need one, especially how you drive through speed bumps 15mph all the time... ;)

Yeah, JayBee should drop by Bill's shop. Custom alignment to his
liking and won't charge him an arm, a weewee, and a leg.
