Very late to this conversation, but finding it very useful in the wake of my own recent G80 order, which has left me wondering what I'll be rolling on when it arrives in April. Still, I have to say that a recent wide-ranging review of brands by _EVO_ left the Michelins with a relatively mediocre ranking. Surely, that's some consolation for anyone who ends up with the PZ4s (which, as it happens, came top overall as well as in several tests both on and off the track).

I guess both will be terrific for the vast majority of us.

Michelin has some difficulties delivering enough tires and therefore most ppl will get Pirellis at the moment.
At my local dealer are 4/5 cars delivered with Pirellis.

Tracked my car 4 times this past summer and fall each time 3 or 4 sessions of 17-18 minutes with an average of 9 laps each my car came with Z4's and the tires never felt that they were lossing grip at any time. The Z4's are great tires be happy witth then no need to upgrade to PS4S.

My G80 just arrived at dealership today and it has Michelin on it.
But the M4 convertible next to my car has P-Zero. Maybe its all by luck?
I don't really have strong preference between Michelin and Prelin, they are both great brand to me

Here’s a very un-scientific observation I had yesterday.

My 6MT G80 came on 19/20 826Ms wearing the PZ4s. I was bummed, my good friends in dealership management and sales all made fun of me for caring (and said they’ll all be bald in 8-10k max anyway…)… and to be honest they are very nice ultra-hp street tires. Fine in wet too, surprisingly. So anyone who gets the Pirellis, not the end of the world.

Then yesterday, I finally got my meaty square set-up of 285/35/19 PS4S mounted on my 19x10.5 Forgelines and all dialed-in on the car. The tires aren’t even scrubbed in at all, but wow does that set-up hook up! On warm dry road, acceleration was noticeably better.

I’m not gonna say it’s definitely the Michelins over the Pirellis. Because it could be that, or the meatier tire sizing (the 285 aftermarket PS4S has a very wide tread width!), or the lighter wheels (Forgeline racing 1-piece, and 19 vs 20 rear), or some combo of the above. Or even my butt dyno trying to confirm a large purchase

But if my impression holds, I’ll be sticking with Michelin when these are bald (as I have on the past bunch of performance cars).
