Interestingly, BMW specified either Pirelli or Michelin for the F90 M5, but at its performance center driving schools, it runs Continental. Non star spec can’t be that bad if BMW is using them on the track.
I run Continental EC Sport 02 on my 2018 M5, in place of the Michelin PS4 star spec. Both tires are good. Can’t tell much difference. The Continental do feel more comfortable and that probably means they aren’t quite as stiff. Have never tracked so I have no lap times to compare. What percentage of BMW owners take their cars to the track? 1%?
