Hello everyone! I just placed an order for a 2009 e92 335i m-sports package. Does anyone know what are the stock tires that come with the m-sports package?

Thanks in advance.

IMHO, both are crap. The sooner you wear them out or take them off and replace them with some Non runflats the better off you will be. Although there are some that do like the Rfs. We are keeping a close watch on those members. J/K!

Thanks guys! Anyone have experience with the michelin PS2 vs the PS2 ZP? As in is it worthwhile to get a set of Michelin PS2s just for the usual daily spirited driving?

I took delivery of my 09 M-Sport on 6/24. The tires on my car are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP (run-flat).

The PS2s are highly regarded around here as being a very good tires on the E9x cars. If you can live without RFTs (carry a spare or some puncture plugging stuff), they're a good choice.

I've heard that the Michelin PS2 ZP RFTs are better than the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFTs.

PS2s are great summer performance tires but they are horrible in the cold and they wear quickly. On my E46 I would get ~20K mi out of them.

I wandered the dealer lot a couple weeks ago while my oil was being changed and the couple M-sport coupes I saw had Michelins and the regular sport cars had the Bridgetones.

They aren't the same size in the front and back on the regular sports package either.

I would not spend that kind of money on PS2. I would rather go with something like the Nitto NT-05, Bridgestone RE01R (now discontinued), Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec or some Nitto Invos.
