Be wary, that 265/35R19 PSC2 you mention is the REAR tire for the M2cs and SHOULD NOT be used on the front axle of the M3/4.

For some reason BMW chose the imprecise star designation for all their specific tires. Other manufacturers choose to use a combination of numbers and letters which makes it clearer what specific vehicle application the tires were designed for.
wow why is that!?? I didn't know. yea no way to tell f it's for front or rear then
