The advancement of wet weather tire performance in the last two decades has been truly immense. Back in the 80s and 90s I had cars with 185s and 195s that aqua planed pretty much every time it rained. Today I very seldom experience aqua planing with 255s...

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...
