Probably because of the very low demand and slow sales. Maseratis, for several reasons, just have not caught on in the U.S....and, as with most Italian makes, a reputation for unreliability is one of them.

 

Yeah I don't love the alcantara either...

 

I just mounted PS4S on this past weekend. When it's broken in I'm gonna see if it launches and better. Not that I care that much about launching, but it's a good indication of grip. The Camaro ZL1s are 325/30ZR19 in the rear. Makes me want to get new wheels.

 

you went with stock size 275/35 I suppose? 305/30 can easily fit on your 10' rear wheel. 325/30 with 12' wheel will require rolling fenders on the M3, and most likely rub too with spring or coilover

i have a set of continental extreme contact DW in 305/30 that I bought dirt cheap sitting ready for install. Adds an extra inch of contact area. If those cant handle the power, will go with RE11

 

Yes, running spec.
I'm pretty low and I was afraid it would rub. Not many people running non spec yet with my specific setup, so I couldn't ask other M3 drivers if their's rubbed. I'll burn through these pretty quick though.
Hopefully by then there will be more user experiences.

 

This reminds me of that Best Buy commercial where the little girl tells her dad he got the wrong tv as it's being delivered......I just got my PSS last August and totally love them. I guess PS4S' are even better.....for me, the beauty was that the PSS could be had for significantly less than the RE050A's which came with the car since they were rfts....

 

For some reason the stock PSS are the longest lasting tire for me. So far 14k miles with another 1-2k miles before wear bar. I drive 99% city too, aggressive. Even did over 25 drag strip burnout/runs. Usually tires last 12k miles on the 370z, much lighter, and they are completely bald.

how many miles did you get out of your OEM

 

btw on my 335i....
The interesting thing is I believe the warranty on PSS' is 30k, "if" they are not staggered and can be rotated. That's pretty high on a summer tire. I got high 40's out of the Bridgestone RE050A's, backs were to the wear indicators, fronts had like 5/32, kind of a waste but I had plugged RFTs which is a no-no anyway so I tossed them...

 

well then I'm right at warranty (15k half) with the staggered rcf stock setup. Also if you have ANY camber wear or even wear, warranty is void

 

27k on Continental CS5 with lots of slow city driving and abusive behavior at least once a month. They were well worn.
