Les meilleurs pneus pour la BMW E34 M5

These are one of my usual tyres that I use on the M5 - the other being Michel Pilot Sport PS2.

Over the years I've tried various recommendations, from Avons to Toyos, and Pirelli to Yokohama, and have consistently come back to the Michelin PS2 and Conti SC2 depending which was the better value at the time.

I find the PS2 to have the better grip in dry and wet conditions, but the CS2 is not far behind and lasts about 20% longer (10,000 miles for the Michelins, vs 12,000 for the Contis) and the Contis give a bit more feel.

Other tyres I've tried and dismissed are Toyo T1-S/R (tramline, wear quickly), Avon ZZ (useless in dry or wet), Pirelli P-Zero range (too noisy, uneven wear), Yokohama AVS Sport (decent dry grip, lethal in the wet), Goodyear F1 (good dry grip, couldn't move standing water quickly).

I've only gotten 500 miles out of these tyres as they've been used on my track wheels and are never used on the road. They take a couple of laps to warm up, and you won't want to use them between the months of October & March, but once up to temperature they easily exceed the grip of my normal Michelin PS2s on the track although this extra grip comes with a price that means you don't get as much progression before you lose all grip.

I've done both circuit days and airfield days, and I got 4 circuit days out of them and would have gotten more had I not done an airfield day in them. The airfield day destroyed the tyres within 3 laps - mainly due to the nature of the surface (i.e. high abrasion concrete for airplane landings) compared to treated tarmac on proper tracks - and that they are a soft tyre.

In the dry they are great - not as good as proper race rubber - but you can use them in the wet, as long as you're careful.

Don't know whether the previous reviewer used them on a proper track or not, but I'm not surprised they were killed on an airfield surface. My PS2s only last half a day (4 sessions) on an airfield and they're a harder compound.
