I feel silly, but I cannot find what exact tire comes on my incoming M4 Competition Xdrive. BMW just says high performance tire on its website. Are these all-season radials or summer only tires?

Wheels: 19" x 9.5" Fr/20" x 10.5" Rr (Style 826M)

In MN, so would like to figure this out, even with our super mild winter this year.

Typically (and I haven't read anybody getting anything different in the US) you're either going to get the Michelin PS4S Star, or the Pirelli P-Zero Star. Both are summer only.

Appreciate that. I picked up my then new 2019 Mustang Gt PP2 and drove it home 800 miles in the winter on summer only tires. Could tell the tires were very unhappy, as was I, LOL.

The G8X M3/M4 comes with either:

Yokohama Advan Sport V107
Pirelli P Zero
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

You will guaranteed get the Yoko's if you have a base G80 M3 and opt for the 824M wheels. If you get the 825M or 826M wheels on the Comp models, you may get either the Pirellis or the Michelins. All three are summer performance tyres and should absolutely not be driven in any snow, but there's not much of an issue driving them during the winter when roads are clear and you allow some time to heat them up.

My wife wants to drive this car after I wouldn't let her drive my Challenger Hellcat Redeye, LOL. I need to have tires that are safe from startup.

I will have them replace the summer tires with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's before I pick the car up.

I'm not in Minnesota, but picked my car up when a (mildish) winter storm was coming through and drove 50 miles home on my summer tires in upper 30s rainy weather. I live in the foothills of the mountains and a couple of miles from home the temp dropped and I was nervously driving in light snow and freezing temps. The tires/car were not happy but I drove super-conservatively. The new M3 stayed in the garage for a week or so while the weather moderated and then I drove it directly to a tire store to get all-seasons (Continental DWS06 Plus) installed. Having the dealer replace the tires before you take delivery will likely cost you a bit extra but be worth it for peace of mind. The Michelins are a great choice!

Re what comes as OE on the car, Tire Rack says the OE tires in 19/20 are either Mchelin PS4S or Pirelli P Zero.

If you're going with all seasons, go with Conti DWS06+. They're basically the best AS tire, better than AS4s IMO and still grip very well. Also could be cheaper depending on the location/dealer.

I run them on my G83 for the winter months here (no snow) and they work fantastically.

I actually told the dealer either tire, Michelin and Continental, was acceptable based on availability.

The dealer got back to me and said the Conti are available and preferred over the Mich. They will be put on before I pick up.

I'm quite very happy with my DWS06+, you'll definitely enjoy them.

Would this be a good option for year round street tires with a 2nd set for track/autocross?

Vs a summer set or 200 TW tires and snows or alternative?

[nalnass]

I got the pirellis. I hear they’re terrible but I wouldn’t know tbh. How much better are the Michelins when I eventually upgrade?

I think they are a great year round tire. New base corvettes ship with AS tires…unless you are really pushing it I think they do very well.

Cool. Ill prob switch to these come winter and just change my summers to autox tires

[M4ord]

Mine came with P Zeros, and I installed the Michelline PS All Seasons during the Winter. The performance of the tires are pretty similar. The biggest difference I feel is the P Zeros have a stiffer sidewall than the 'all-seasons'. When I put the summer tires back on I have to adjust my driving for a few days to get use the quicker turn in of the summer tires. THe performance metrics of these tires have been researched pretty well.

Here is a link to a site that has tested tires and then publishes the result. Its a good soure of info.

The 4 compounds for the G8X are Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, and Yokohama. The Pirellis and Michelins, come installed on the 825/ 826/ 827M wheels. The Continentals, are on the base model 18" wheels, and the V107s come installed on the BMW 1000M M Performance catalog tires.

Im adding pics of the base model with the factory Contis on it, and I have the 1000M wheels on my G82. Which come installed with the Yoko V107s. in 20/21. Notice the Star on the tread. These are the factory tires made for the G80.

If you're gonna swap tires *anyway*, I personally would do PS4S and Alpin or Blizzaks for winter specifically, and use Cup2s for the track, if you want a specific track tire. If you're fine with the PS4S on the track, then I'd probably just keep them and daily them as well during non-winter months.

I did the same. The MPAAS4s have excellent grip in the cold and wet.
No more spinning and slipping the first couple miles until the tires warm up.

This is 3 sets of tires vs 2 though. And 3 sets of wheels. And a lot of swapping. I did it for my f80 though. PS4S + AD052/RE71RS + winters.

Primary is autocross so 200 TW is a must. I should have specified not "track tires" so much. Might go to the track a handful of times here and there but not as often.

I can just roll the 200 throughout the autox season and run DWS from October-May then.
