LOVE my Michelin PS A/S.

It is the right combination of all-around/all-weather performance and durability for my application.

Unless Michelin stops making them, no other tire brands will find its way on my E46 daily driver.

Yep. Same. That's what's on my 2 series.

That is the same link I posted in #1. The PS4 has the “Deep black velvet appearance.” Nothing new…

No worries… I initially thought you may have found something that I had not discovered, but when I clicked on the link I was like hold on that is the same thing.

The wet lap time improvement in the release is of interest to me, but I am hopeful that the tires are not available in the US until after April 30 so I do not have to consider them.

Sizes per Michelin’s website in Japan. No clue if the same will also apply for the United States.
