Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Kumho Ecsta Sport S PS72 295-30-20- BMW M4 500 miles April 1, 2025
I was looking for a lower price tyre to change my old Michelin PSS’s. If you buy the S version the TWI is 260. On dry road feels good, grippy enough, i dont know how’s it in the wet, i don’t drive when it’s raining. It has pretty stiff sidewalls, a PS4S is much more comfy. But the road feedback is good, handling is fast and responsive. tread depth is around 7MM new.
TBH im a Michelin fan, but at this price… it is one of the best tyres. Sidewalls are good looking, almost Michelin satin like texture. They don’t look cheap.
(I was able to get the set of 4 for $700)

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 225-45-17- BMW M4 3,500 miles March 19, 2025
bought for M4 f82,nowhere near as good as the continental sport contact 7,in every way.turn in is poorer,grip is poorer and wet grip again nowhere near the conti.only upside is wear factor and they look prettier.,cannot wait till these wear down and stick some conti back on,save ya cash if you have 400-550 bhp and get the conti,they are well cheaper.ok they wear faster but id rather them wear faster than towing my car out a ditch,275-35-19 and 255-35-19

Continental SportContact 7 275-45-19- BMW M4 10,000 miles April 2, 2024
I'm on my second set of Continental Sport Contact 7s on my (non competition) BMW M4. They are by far the best tyres I've ever had. Sublime grip (wet and dry), feedback and handling.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S 285-30-20- BMW M4 Competition 4,000 miles November 10, 2023
My BMW M3 Competition xDrive had Pirelli's from the factory. They were ok... but after having read some reviews of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S * (the M3/M4 version of it), I opted for these ones after 27.000 km (around 17.000 miles) on the Pirelli's.
The Michelin are even better on dry roads, even better than Michelin Supersport (more relaxed as far as temperature is concerned).
In the wet, I would say that I feel the PS 4S* a little bit better than the Pirelli's. Not really for 'surprise' slides, but for basic wet grip. Anyway. With tyres like these ones, when your car is feeling 'happy', it means you are driving like a maniac.
I did not notice a difference in road noise and in comfort.
I did notice a difference in control and feedback. It seems like you get more information from the road and the car and, therefore. A better control.
I have not yet tested the Michelin on Spa-Francorchamps or the Nürbürgring, so I cannot comment the trackday part of the joy.
Drive safely ;)

Continental SportContact 7 285-30-20- BMW M4 Competition 500 miles July 28, 2022
Not many reviews of these yet, but based on the excellent review from this site, I decided I would give them a try when my Michelin Pilot Super Sports came to the end of useful life. The M4 is a demanding car on it's tyres to say the least and I came very close to going with Michelin again. I am SO glad I took a chance and went for it....the Continenal SportContact 7 has been astonishing since the day they were fitted. In every single way these tyres are superior to the PSS! Dry grip and traction is exceptional, but what is noticeable is how much more grip they give when cold. The PSS's main issue was always that they needed a bit of heat before you could lean on them. Wet grip is astonishingly improved over the PSS....it literally feels like a different car in the wet. Both these things I expected based on the review, but what I wasn't expecting was a tyre that is also significantly quieter, handles perfectly and still manages to exceed the steering feel I had with the PSS. There literally isn't a downside to these tyres so far. I've even got a sneaking suspicion that my MPG has gone up also. Oh and finally I managed to get a complete staggered set of 4 of these for £100 less that the PS4S would have been and 100s less that a new set of PSS tyres....for the performance you get these are a bargain! The only thing I can't comment on yet is wear....to be fair the PSS was excellent in this area. Will report back once I have run them longer, but so far these tyres are quite simply the best road tyre out there.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect 275-35-19- BMW M4 Competition 580 miles March 17, 2022
The Cup2 Connect * are very reliable in the dry, consistent through the life of the tire, with the fastest time right after the first heat cycle. There is a bit of scrubbing vibration that I experienced when using new tires. Feels like pickup, but eventually after driving through it, and getting past that period, they settle down. Have experienced this with more than one set, so its a consistent phenomenon. Grip falls off progressively at the limit, with good road feedback and sidewall stiffness. I have not used these tires in the wet, I have PS4S for wet track.

Nitto NT01 305-35-18- BMW m4 cs 3,000 miles November 3, 2021
Pros: wears like iron, has good dry grip even down to 15C, but not so good where you get away with bad driving. Cons: hydroplanes on standing water, is a bit noisy, One of the best values in track day tires that can be driven on the street.
