Whose running PSS on their f30s?
How do you like them? Noise, handling, wear, etc. Just ordered a set and I don't even have my car yet.

No negatives to report so far.
My fuel economy is down 5-8%, but that is to be expected when you increase rolling resistance with a sticky tire.

I have them also. Noise is similar to RFT but the performance is clearly MUCH improved. Only 1000 miles on this set so I can't help with any questions about wear. The HTR ZIII'S I had on before only lasted 10k, but I expect more from the Michelins. You cannot go wrong with the Pilot Super Sports in my opinion, they are phenomenal performance tires.

My f30 has 8K miles on the original Bridgestone RFTs. When I have to replace them I am considering what you have, but my wife says no for good reasons. Hopefully there will be a better choice of RFTs out there when I need replacements? I really feel it is a letdown for no spare tire compartment in the trunk

Continental conti sport contact 5 ssr have good reviews. I have the sport contact 2 ssr as replacement from Bridgestone re50a and I like the conti tires much better.
There are some options when it comes time for replacement. Enjoy the 001 from Bridgestone.

I love them. The car is transformed from the RF. Car is very quiet too.

I'm going from stock 403m 19s with run flats to 20 inch 373m wheels with PSS
How do you guys think the 2 setups will compare?

I hope not Doesn't rain much here in Texas, but does occasionally. I've not found them bad at all in the wet, but then I haven't exactly been pressing the car. I'm not playing tiddly-winks though.

The PSS are amazing...I had the Eagle F1 before I got the PSS and notice a clear difference.
I dont think I've driven anything better than the PSS before; the handling is just spot on!

Great info guys, I just got the PSS mounted on brand new 373M wheels.
They look great, can't wait to get them mounted on my car when it arrives.... full review to come.
