Tire Review: Michelin Pilot Super Sport on E46 BMW M3 - BMWBLOG (blog)

Two months later I purchased a set of Pilot Super Sports for my 2002 BMW E46 M3. The front was outfitted with 245/35/19 and the rear got a meaty 275/30/19. The tires coming off of the car was a worn set of Continentals, thus when I got out on the... Now before you go and think I have been babying my M3, let me tell you I have many autocross runs, a few track sessions, and some really good days on back-country roads. I will let you know that I am a driving instructor and pride myself in driving clean, fast lines. I also check my tire pressures religiously: before and after autocross runs and track sessions, the first of every month, and before every road trip. This helps me dial in exactly how to set up my car and driving style. The last key to helping with treadwear is that I make sure I am running enough negative camber in the front. BMWs love negative camber. Some come with an alignment pin that can be removed to slightly increase negative camber, or you can purchase a set of camber plates to more easily dial in your suspension. Negative camber is a must if you want to drive your car as intended without over-heating the outside-shoulder of the front tires. Source: www.bmwblog.com
