Not sure if the rest of you know, but tires wear out and can/should be changed. You are not beholden to Yokohama for life. On that first set, you're still getting some value from the lower brand tires, but it's not THAT big a deal.

No performance car should ever have floating calipers. Regardless if they are used just on the rear. BMW didn't want to spend the $$$ to develop them, simple as that. |

Do the M cars with them stop in a longer distance, for example, than previous gens?

Same brake set up on the G80
Doesn't look great for the show and shine boys but it performs very adequately The Yoko's will be fine I'm sure. We had a lot of 'tire lottery' threads on the G80 forum with people complaining about the Pirelli's despite them being equal or better in a lot of independent tests. Most people couldn't tell the difference in a blind text but they swear by the Michelins! |

I'm truly excited for this car, but am I the only one who thinks that what appears to be 25 aspect ratio tires is kind of ridiculous? Especially on what is supposed to be a performance-oriented car? I don't think it looks particularly good either.

And for very good reasons. However I never had problems with Yokos, they’ve been some of the better non Michelins I’ve had in the past. A lot better than my experience with Contis for example.
As for Michelins, I never had a Michelin street tire go bad by itself in over 30+ years and I always experienced an upgrade when swapping out delivery tires of other brands. Yep, I’m a fan however should I buy an M2 and get Yokos I’ll happily drive them to the threads before swapping to PSXS, same if I get Pirellis but if the car come with Contis, they’ll go in the trash were they belong. |

Michelin's are also the most 'round' or well balanced tires I've run, and I've run every major brand. You don't need much weight to balance a wheel with Michelin's. Another thing I love about them is the extra rubber around the bead area that adds some additional protection against curb rash. Michelin's are also fattys when compared to other brands. They are wider with the sidewall being a bit plump for lack of a better word. That just makes them aesthetically pleasing, especially on a performance car with already wide tires. |

Current Conti CSC6 or Pirelli PZ4 Sportscar are much better than you'd think. I don't have much experience with Yokohamas, but the thing is, they're already on F90 M5s and if they were really shite, they wouldn't get approved by BMW M. Are BMW G8x-spec PS4S better, most likely yes, but no reason to get your panties in a bunch over a consumable such as tyres. KW and Michelin just know how to market their products in 21st century. And the former really shouldn't be praised as high, but that's a topic for another time.

As you said, the solution that works right now with the rear OEM rotors is separate 4-piston calipers and EPB calipers: |
