I have zero concerns about daily drive ability and safety with the standard 275 or optional 285 fronts when shod with modern Michelins.

As far as comments of the new car not being much upgraded according to these videos. They say it’s partly faster than the M4 GTS so the implementations described here including tire/wheel selections sure seem to be working...
I certainly can predict a metric where the AWD G8X will be faster than the F8X GTS: 0-60mph
