@inlinesix You check with PML,how much they selling.?1 pc can buy 2 pcs outside.

Exactly, OE tires won’t be cheap. Also likely they won’t keep stock. So if need to replace, then need to indent and one probably has to have another tire fixed on temporarily. In the end will be super ex.

My previous set of Michelin PSS got BMW Star.

Didn't get from AD.

How many could even tell the difference in the performance to that extreme? OE or not. 

 

Many I see is just a straight line dash and once in a corner, braked all the way round the apex. 

 

Thats where they are chiet and ego bruised.

I guess I was lucky Michelin PSS 205/45 17 has BMW STAR.

For those using Michelin PS4S 225/40 18, it might also be BMW STAR.

If it is Run Flat,i think is alot of new Car Owners replaced one....Not all Michelin with Star are like the one in Video,some are just BMW Specs Run Flats,not very good Grip & Heavy.

Other than the Factory tyres, all my subsequent tyres are non-RFT.

Mini Service Staff don't even realise that I am using tyres with BMW Star.

That particular PSS I used has a very stiff sidewall.  It is as stiff as RFT.

It gives me a lot of confidence to cup corner.

Non-RFT BMW star tyres? Does that even exist?

Anyone knows if there is 215/55/17 for this tyre? Check with a few shop but seems like nobody have this size.

PS4 typically don’t have anything with 55 profile. This should be primacy4 size.
