Bmw 1M !Wrong tyre ! Help !

[safferboylondon]

Bought my VO 1M on Saturday .
Drove it for 4 days and then picked up a bulge on the front driver side. Bought a new tyre today and was fitted only to go home and find out that it is the wrong tyre .ie. Michelin Pilot Super Sport.
They should be Michelin Pilot Sport 2.

What do I do??? Can I go back and have them changed or am I stuck with it?

PS: I did ring first and provided my car registration to ask if they had the OEM tyre in stock and was told yes.

Have a look on the michelin website to check but I think they stopped making those. The Supersports seem to be the tyre of choice for m cars now.

Mine came with ps2 when new in 2010, now running supersports.

I would put a SS on the other side and ebay the other PS2

We are all waiting for our PS2s to wear out on our 1Ms so we can fit the super sport tyres. So no problem just match up the other side as already said.

Thanks guys!

I will buy the other side PSS and eBay the PS2.

Kind regards.

Yes as others have said buy the other side to match and sell the old one

Hope your enjoying your new car !

Wouldn't the PS3 tyre be the direct replacement? Had similar issue last year in my Audi was told the PS3 replaced the PS2, makes sense....

I see that Michelin's marketing nomenclature is working well to confuse people, however...

PS3 is the replacement for the Exalto.

PSS is the replacement for the PS2.

There's nothing wrong with the PS3, it's just not as good as the PS2, never mind the PSS.

Hope you get your tyre sorted.

Off topic but which VO car did you buy? Sytner one?
