I have stated in my original post that the M4 in the test with Carrera S is having PS4S, and I have posted screenshots of the blue M3 with the Cup2's for a reference because there is obvious difference between the tires visually.

I have also dedicated one more post explaining that for the people that didn't understand it the first time, but it seems it's all in vain

My plan is to buy square 18 or 19 inch wheels to run winter tires then when Cup2 are done on OEM wheels Install PS4S and switch between track tires and winter tires on the track wheels.

This way I don't have 3 sets of wheels. And I get to experiment the M3 like it was intended on OEM wheels with PS4S and/or Cup2.

There is a huge difference in comfort between PS4S and other tires, even with star spec PSS. My M2 is a lot smoother with PS4S.
For winter tires, narrower wheels are preferable while for track tires wider wheels are preferable. A single set of wheels for winter at track is suboptimal. I agree 2 sets of wheels is cumbersome, that's what I have, but it is much less compromised.

I know you run dedicated track wheels so did you ment to say 3 sets of wheels or you replace tires on the OEM wheels between winter and summer ?

I cross fingers optimal setups will be developped during next summer and I can make a better decision before winter.
