Just heard from the first time that an M5 was delivered with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's! The car arrived in Dallas, and was one of two delivered. The other had the Conti's.

This is great news, as the PS2's are considerably better tires.

Heard the same & Michelin have confirmed that they manufacture an OEM PS2 for the M5.

Looking to replace my Conti's for PS2's in the next 3 weeks, however for the OEM ones i'm being quoted ?400 fitted per rear tyre & ?300 per front, so far more expensive than the Conti's

Ouch! Someone's overcharging!

You can get M5 PS2's for ?208/?249 front/rear - no more than ?15/wheel fitting... (Conti's are ?200/?163 - rears are cheaper?! )

There's also a nice range of RunFlats in those sizes...
