Reposting as spam bumped my post off the current page:
I have two sets of wheels, so I could do Pilot Sport AS4s and if I don't like them or don't find enough utility in them, sell the set. I think I might have mentioned elsewhere, a good friend of mine runs the AS4s on his M8 (year round). Maybe do 255F/275R? |

yes do that.
also btw just went skiing yesterday in my newly mounted PS4 235 45 17 on 7.5" wheels and 34 psi. didn't realise that tire is rather hard compound. had them shipped to my house, the blocks were like hard plastic. after driving 500 miles they loosened up but still much harder than the P Zeros on my BMW but your weather is colder, and the AS4S sounds perfect |

in the winter you want to run narrower, smaller rim, lower pressure. that will maximize purchase on the ground whatever the compound. |

Run the stock sizes if you don't plan to drive in snow. Going narrower is only for snow and rain. The reason I say stock btw and not +10 255/275 is because I think you'll get better steering feel out of the more stretched front tire, which you may want because the all-season is a softer tire probably.

His advice is conflicting, too. He says go narrower (correct) then says to lower tire pressure (wrong). Lowering tire pressure will result in a larger contact patch, partially defeating the purpose of going narrower.

Why are you giving people tire pressure recommendations for a different car? You seem to have no clue. M2s should be 35 cold.

The PA4s were disappointing for my needs and where I live. I learned that I need to outfit my car for the most common conditions it drives in and not the worst case. The PA4s were just too much of a compromise and made the car less stable and brake worse in the cold (20+ degrees) and wet compared to the AS4s. I've run the AS4s for two winter seasons now and 6k miles so I'm well-tuned to their positives and negatives. The only real negative I've found is worse light snow traction and even then, they aren't terrible at all. |
