Corsas fitted
Pirelli P Zero Corsa, 225/40 18 Front, 255/35 18 Rear.
It is just amazing how these tyres work. Limits are pushed around 10 % higher in comparison with ContiSportContact in M3 spec. They make Z4MC a true sportscar, grip and handling is awesome, wheelspin is almost impossible all understeer is gone. I will test them on track during weekend and write more....

Judging from the tread depth, it looks like you won't be driving much in the rain...and if you do, DSC will be kicking in non-stop or you'll spin like crazy

And Z4MC is not an everyday car (at least for me), so you dont have to use everyday tyres, you can just chose your car every morning according to current weather But if you use Z4MC as the only car, than standard tyres are less problematic choice. But if you see Corsas in action... It is really wonderful, believe me...

I do not want any other tyres for Z, these (or Pilot Sport Cups) make the cary so fast and easy to push hard...

& the tread pattern doesn't look like it could evacuate much water.

I havent heard about the Cups, where do those fit in the michelin range of tires? is it a pure summer tire above the PS2 or is it some kind of all-season mix tire ?

the Cups are the Corsa's of Michelin. They are above the PS2 and come standard on the M3 CSL. They have little dots in them that could be cut as well to provide better wet traction.
http://www.michelinman.com/overview/..._cup/1719.html http://www.michelinman.com/specs/pil..._cup/1719.html second link has tire sizes, first is a quick overview. They are amazing tires, but I have no doubt that the Corsa's are amazing as well. |

Yeah, Cups are really good too, the result is very similar. My friend got them on 130i and I think they are better in deepr water. But they are not available in my size, I will have to buy 19" and use the same size as on CSL...

It is no problem to go 250 kmh in little or after the rain, the grip is fantastic. But is is a problem to go more than 90 kmh in heavy rain, it is a neverending aquaplaning when you try to go more. Thats the whole story, do you understand me?
