New tyres

I'm getting closer to needing new tyres and still trying to find the best option. I really want to go for 305s on standard 20" m5 wheels. I understand that the recommended width is 10.5" but I also understand that the 305s can be used on 10" wheels.

I plan on using Michelins as they have been praised on the forums.

I'm looking at Michelin Pilot Sport 4S PS4S - 305/30 R20 (103Y) XL TL

Has anybody used these tyres without problems?

Thanks

Should fit. 343M's are 10.5, Competition 601M wheels are 11.0, and my aftermarket wheels are 10.5--I run the 305/30 (103Y) Pilot Sport 4. Sidewalls are beefier but they fit fine.

Yes sorry--you're right.

I put Nitto tires on my M5 recently. I should have done this years ago as the grip and comfort far exceed the Michelin's IMO.

I went with Nitto's NT555 G2 in the front and NT05 (305s) in the rear.

What are your respective sizes in the front?

And, any objections against going with the PS4's? In Florida, we get an occasional afternoon shower, basically on a daily basis currently.

Thanks,

Did either of you both try the 275 combo? I've read that it may cause the vehicle to understeer...and further the issue of the camber being -2 from the factory.

Is this true? If so, what are your respective camber/toe settings?

Thanks,
H

I'm running 275 in the front and 305 in the rear. It doesn't make sense that the vehicle will understeer with a wider tire in front, as it should give the front tires more traction.

I haven't noticed any negative effect from running 275 in the front, but then again I don't track my car either.

The PS4S is a great tire in both dry and wet conditions. Aside from semi-slick tires, you'll probably have a hard time finding a better tire.

Keeping with the thread topic, (wheel widths) does anyone run a square set up with 4 rear wheels? Or 4 rears but still staggered tire sizes...

I have an opportunity to buy (4) rear Dinan wheels (20" x 10.5") at a big discount. I know I'd need a spacer in the front, but I'm curious about handling changes. Can you run a 285 tire on a 10.5 rim?

I didn't try 275s in the front as my "tire guy" recommended to stick with 265s in the front for fitment. I went ahead with his recommendation.

275/305 on CP wheels. The 275s add a bit of stress to the power steering but i still keep putting them on...
