Might not look bad if you are lowered.

Didn't mean to be offensive BTW.

No offense. Just effin with you.

The Continental DW in 285/35 - 19 is only 10.2 tread width. Same as the 275 PSS.
I love the PSS so far.
You cannot tell any diff in appearance.

I don't have any pics of the tires directly but they look just like the PS2. (As opposed to the Hankook that look squared at the top)

Great thread.
We drove PSSs at the M5 Launch at at Ascari and I couldn't believe the wet grip. They grip as hard as my Conti's do in the dry. This is not a typo. The first time the lead driver threw the Lard-Arsed M5 into the turn, I couldn't believe it gripped so strongly. (Yes, I understand that race tracks have a different tarmac compound than normal roads.)

OP, please post pics when you have an opportunity.
Thanks-mk

I put a PSS 275/35 on the rear and it is in fact wider than the old PS2 tires at 285/35. It also is a MUCH MUCH better tire!!! I was completely shocked at the grip compared to the PS2.

I got PSS on my 21s and they are sticky icky compared to the PS2s I had on my M6 wheels.

Did some launches last night and the M5 just takes off where as my Ps2 when new would spin spin. Might be the difference in size but I find these to have more grip off the launch.

I would highly suggest these tires, I would get definitely get them on my M6 wheels but the sizes need to come out. So far they are not wearing quick at all like the PS2s did and I have more traction, even with 21's. Win win for the PSS.
