I just discovered a "new" tire I may try next time on the ///M: Vredestein Ultrac-Sessantas. The come in a 235/40/18 and a 265/35/18. These are half the cost of PS2s, have more tread life, and are better wet or dry--or so that's the consensus by quite a few E9x M3 drivers.

I'll need new tires on the M3 pretty soon, so I'm going to give them a whirl. I'll see if they're candidates to contend with the Star Specs (doubt it, but we'll see, and can't get Star Specs in 19s for the M3). But they sound like good contenders for replacing the PS2s at a great cost. Guys claim they work great on the track, and they've got a wild look too. This is a well known European tire brand, just a bit hard to find here.

Good thread over on M3 post about this tire and results. Worth a read.
I was considering the 235/265 route for the mcoupe, but thought the diameter would make the speedometer even more inaccurate. Anyone else running this size on their mcoupe without issues?
