Before I put my e46 M3 up for sale I want to replace the front tyres. Looking at the rears I have fitted the MPSS, same as the old fronts, any experiences of the MPS2 tyres please.

I don't want to spend top money on tyres but certainly want the new owner to be able to have confidence and performance from what I do fit.
Thanks

For the sake of an extra £50 I would just put PSS on the front too.

It will make buyers more confident in the fact the car has been well looked after and not skimped on.

Are the PS2 cheaper than the PSS? My experience has been the newer, better tyre is cheaper anyway?

As for PS2, still a good tyre. You wont have any problems, but the PSS is better everywhere, especially in the wet.

Thanks for input, I just thought that the MPPS2 would be a better tyre than the old. If that's not so I shall. have fitted the old.
