@@HondaEnjoyer12 Yeah but a stiffer sidewall tyre (like a track day tyre) is inherently worse in the wet and better in the dry. It's not a free lunch. The BMW star-marked M-car PS4S are tuned closer to Cup 2s than stock PS4S, so they give up some wet performance to get *more* dry performance (check out Jonathon Benson's Tyre Reviews on "Should you use OEM tyres?"). While the older PSS ALL have the stiffer sidewall like that to give a more precise flickable feeling with more feedback than the 4S, the compromise being a tyre that's worse in cold and wet (UK? 😂) but more dynamic in warm and dry. The Japanese market road tyres like Potenza S007A and Potenza RE004 have the same hard sidewall as the track day Potenza RE71RS even though they are road tyres. This gives better steering feel and better transient response, as well as a shoulder that doesn't roll over. But S007A (with this stiff sidewall) doesn't meet EU low rolling resistance eco requirements, so there's the Potenza Sport road tyre made in Europe with a softer sidewall and lower rolling resistance (and better wet performance). [Indeed the RE71RS track day tyre doesn't meet the EU rules either, hence there's the Potenza Race track day tyre made in Europe.] As far as I understand, softer sidewall = better longitudinal grip (e.g., A052 have a modern softer construction despite being a track day tyre, so that's why they are so mighty in braking), stiffer sidewall = better lateral grip (in dry). But in wet conditions, a softer sidewall (or taller profile tyre) conforms to the road better and generates more lateral grip. Anyway, it's not fair to say PSS aren't nearly as good. Many people prefer the stiffer sidewall and better turn-in and steering feel compared to the PS4S. Then there's the PS4 which has an even softer construction than the PS4S -- by Jonathon Benson's Tyre Reviews testing, the PS4 is faster *again* in the wet than PS4S. Since tyre design is a compromise between different attributes (PSS/PSC2 towards dry, PS4S in the middle, PS4/PS5 towards wet). If you like instant response and sharp turn-in from a stiff sidewall then the other road tyres like JDM Bridgestones and Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Sport are probably better than most of the Michelins (especially PS4/PS5), but of the Michelins the PSS & M-car PS4S are the better ones.
@@TassieLorenzo you are probably right, but it seems a bit silly to me for a road tyre to be useless in the wet. If you want great dry performance and feel you would buy a semi slick instead of a pss anyway so I dont really see the point of them
Should of shipped out a Halfords advanced to make the lads jealous.
Real talk

came straight to the comments about this but you beat me to it
"What a car!" Now that was enthusiasm. I like it. The car is very cool. I like the M2 content, too, since I have the base model of that, the 230i.
Those head torches are a game changer I have two of them can’t live without them 😊
Really like these videos with you two
I like Toby's British helmet
Haha
Cool video Dan! Cheers
I Like this Style ❤
Sounds botty but I see the bmw
@@dannyDC2 Very good, You are one of the few who See this 🤓 i think You saw more 😜
This is my favorite track, i know it by heart on gran turismo, i watched so many best motoring international with Keiichi Tsuchiya. Good luck man !!!
Sounds like a Phoenix Nights quote to me ha!
Clinton Baptiste 😂
Whats with that mousetash & mullet.... you're fast turning in to Yorkshires Valtteri Bottas 🤣👍
Loving the chaser episodes 🤌
close enough
the softer bmw spec rubber has a star at the end of the name. might be narrower but the compound is better
Dan moving to Japan, mark my words
Nah
@stubbk3 japdanskis
go on dan 💪
When are you racing again Dan
Got 5 races coming up soon. Next race vid will be next week
I need more content. Patreon might be must
May have missed it, but are you keeping the car and shipping it back to the UK?
Selling.
Surprised the pedals are still offset like that in a modern BMW, the e30 has the same pedal offset situation
Clinton Baptiste knew the torque wrench was made in Taiwan without looking 😅
😂
Pump the Jack in open position
Definitely should have paid for patreon
No magic screwdriver in your toolkit! 😢
There can only be one
You should get royalties for knipex sales 🤣
I think pilot super sports came before ps4s and they aren’t nearly as good especially in wet and cold
Stiffer sidewall though, just different compromises than the 4S.
PSS were the predescessor of the cup2, I think at least, so more the Track Tyre direction instead of road like the ps4s
@@TiyamatFTL cup 2s are semi slicks though

Accelera 651, even in 100 tread wear are shite on track .. Lol
I remember when torque wrenches cost so much that my dad made his own.
Of course he did 😂
So, bought car, bought tools... when are you looking for an apartment?
Handy Blower - The girlfriend we all want but don't deserve.
Machine Mart? You mean Harbor Freight lol?
No, no he didn't.
No space for track wheels sad face
Should have spent that 80k on preps not this pointless shit. People really have no clue AI is here now. lol
Huh
