Was the G42 wearing the standard tires or the optional?

The standard tires on the M240ix upfront are the 225 and for such a heavy car they are not enough. The optional tires are 245 upfront and they re proper Michelin PS4. So we need to know this
Now the non-M argument is wearing thin with the G generation of cars. The G42 M240ix blows the doors of most M cars of the past. Yes, it doesn't sound like a CSL, it's not pure like the E30 M3, it's not a legend like the M1, it is not primal like the E90 M3. But it performs. Throw some poly bushings and add some camber and the car will feel M with less than a grand.
Modern tech like advanced trannies and diffs is what makes fast cars today. And those are shared and traverse most BMW models
