Need advice. Which tires to buy?

IM2C · 11-09-2013, 01:40 PM

I got 10k on my OEM RFT Contis, and it's time to take them off and store them for the end of lease.
Im looking at 245/40/18 non-RFT.

Debating which tires to buy:

1. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3
2. Michelin PSS
3. Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position

Thread wear is important to me because I don't want to buy another set of tires b4 lease end unless I have to.

I had PSS on my 335 and they were good, but wore out pretty fast. A/S 3 have 500 wear rating. I should mention that I live in FL.

Any advice is appreciated.

Are you looking for a set long last tire??
PSS is so darn good. unless you drive like in the track everyday.

I want a set that handles well on dry and wet and would be nice if it could last 35k. I don't track the car.

MPSS all the way

I've run two different sets of Bridgestone's on my Audi, and they have a tendency to tramline like mad. I have the OE Potenza tire on my F30, and they seem to be better, but I normally steer away from Bridgestone. I've heard nothing but good things about the PSS; however I know the PS2's didn't have a long life expectancy (although people have said the PSS is much better in that area)

Any of those choices are great! I would personally pick the PSS tires though. They last a long time (as long as you don't beat on them) they look great and perform! Hit me up when you are ready and I can work you up a quote

How long will PSS last with mostly highway and occasional spirited driving?
Can they push 35k?
