I personally prefer the MPS4 on the 370Z in comparison to the MPSS on the M4. The MPSS are an old tech tyre now for me.

Maybe the MPS4S would suit you better perhaps?

Except they didn't make an MPS4S to fit the standard wheels on a Z4M. Or I would have bought some. :wink:

It’s a common problem the new Conti Sports 7 are similarly very limited in 18” sizes.

I would have preferred to use 18” wheels when I changed them to Arc-8s but UUHP tyres just aren’t available in 18” sizes..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I remember having the same problem when I had the F56 Cooper S, and I could only get MPS4 for that because they were only a 17" wheel. That had Michelin Primacy 3 on it from the factory and they were absolutely shite!

If I do keep the M4 long term, then I'd really like to swap the MPSS for the MPS4S for sure.
