Does anybody know what brand the tires on the M3 CSL are?

VTECtoVanos · #2 (**permalink**) 06-07-2006, 12:13 PM

probably michelin ps2's, or continental's

I wonder how hard they'd be to obtain when they wear? Seeing it's such a special tire.

They are Michelin's and they are Semi - Slicks. You need to sign a disclaimer when you buy the M3 saying you "understand that the tires will not perform when cold or in the rain."

Dumb i know...

I think that they are just Michelin Pilot sport Cups. It is just a regular R-comp you can buy at tirerack

Pilot Sport Cups, but you have to sign a waiver when you take delivery to the car (because of the tires).

For those of you that have experience with the cups, how well do they perform in the dry? Also, how well do they wear?

They don't have great wear and for the price they really don't perform all that well either. If you are looking for a good r-comp go with the Nitto NT-O1. Great price, great wear, and tons of grip.

Are you kidding? Throw a set of Pilot Cups on a regular M3 and you'll lower your lap time by 1.5secs atleast. Its been proven.

I have CSL rims on my 03 M3. They have Conti Sport Contacts on them. They are wearing on the outer edge of the tyre. They are 255's and are stretched over the rim.

I have had the car for about 2 months and they outer edge of the tyres is rooted??? Should I go for some 275's so they fit over the rim better?

They look tough tho.

235/35/19 and 265/30/19 is the size you should have if you have CSL wheels.
