But the PS4S is not available in standard Z4/Z4M sizes - so Goodyear Supersport is the way to go.

...unless you drive in the cold/snow/rain a lot when a potentially cheaper, less dry-performance-orientated tyre may be the better option :poke:

I would add that i dont think you can go wrong with any of the top-tier dry performance tires. Stuff like the Goodyear Supersport, the Michelin PS4S, Bridgestone Potenza Sport and Continental SportContact 6. I bet a normal human being wouldnt be able to tell much difference, if any at all between them...

FWIW switched from Pirelli PZero to Mich PS4s and the car was transformed. So much so that I fitted them to the Maser as well, and they were much better there too.

Just seemed to be more compliant on bumps, and a bit quieter..
2006 Imola Z4MC (wife's shopping trolley)
1990 Toyota Carina (Started as a free family heirloom, now apparently a Classic)
2016 Toyota Avensis 1.6D (yup, the *really* slow one).
2011 TDM900
1997 VFR750 project. 95% complete. Only 30% left to do.

I find tyres are quite a personal thing. When pushing on in different conditions there can be a world of difference. in my limited experience. :)
