As another interesting datapoint, I run 205/50's on my 330xi's with Michelin Premiers, and they handle great, too--firm in the turns and no tramlining whatsoever. Plus, they're that much lighter. Sounds like sacrilege, but I am hard-pressed not to prefer them. It just goes to show that losing a little tire width isn't the end of the world.

Of course, I don't race or even track...

I wouldn't blame him for that. The PSS have more grip than I'm ever willing to play with. I just want to reduce the tramlining.

I wanted slightly more grip, but mostly I wanted a larger thermal ballast + larger dissipation area. I was melting tires on the track left and right, but mostly because I ran some PSS and they are great street, but awful track tires. Funny how fine the line is. I run RE-71R 255 and the grip is pretty high.
I just thought 255 was the ideal balance of weight and width. Anything wider kind of turns into a "who's is bigger"contest with minimal performance gains

I just went through your build thread. When I saw rear seat get taken out, I said to myself "yea this guy definitely needs more than 235" lol

Well I'm glad SOMEONE looked at it
MCS dampers coming soon
