doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason on which tires are coming on the CP model. i'm seen a healthy mix of both. for the f80, it was pretty universal that the competition package = michelin

anyone know if there is something i'm missing here?

We here in the UK seem to get the Michelins, which IMO are the best tyres for this car.

I just took delivery of a 19 M5 Comp that came w Michelin 4s.

[zuschnell]

I just did eurodelivery on a competition and had the pirellis. This the first of my m's that I lost the tire lottery on. No rhyme or reason.

Pirellis are garbage. Get Michelin’s if you have a choice.

Come on, all the Euro magazine testers seems to love the Pirellis, garbage is too harsh of a word

+1

[Greer]

I also just did euro delivery on a F90 competition and it had the Pirellis.

I wouldnt take the car unless it came with Michelins or if it came with the Pirellis, I would ask the dealer to swap them out for Michelins before I take possession.

Agreed.

[tcw495]

My non CP came with Michelins, I don't think there is any rhyme or reason, maybe you just had good luck every time in the past.

Pirelli very good for high speed at Autobahn

[KellerPerformance]

Micheline all day, every day !!!!

Both are quality threads. I find that P's wear less than M's, slightly. My FE came with P's even though I was hoping for M's. I'm happy either way. They won't last long anyways on my ride.

They are garbage. If there is a positive - they are quiet. The only other positive is me taking them off my car and buying a set of PS4's - using those next season and beyond so I can truly see what the car is capable of- and then putting the Pirelli's back on when I give my car back at the end of the lease.

Same ditto

[wassy]

I’ve had many cars with both the Pirelli P Zero and the PS4’s (same car). Having read many threads about how much better the Michelin’s are, for me, I see little to no difference between the two Inc terms of handling. The pirellis did last a tad longer, were quiet and I have had no complaints. That said, I was hoping for the Michelin’s on my incoming 18 M5 (tomorrow I’m told), but it has Pirelli’s and I’ll be just fine.

[fstezaws]

My 19 M5C came with 4s, and was pleased.

My F10 had pirellis when I bought it and I could barely notice a change between the two, very minor differences. Ps were a bit softer and just a hair less grippy compared to the 4s.

[Viper7]

I've got an F90 with Michelins, and another car that I put Pirellis on.

Both are great tires. No problems with the Pirellis at all.

If you guys are genuine racing drivers then maybe you notice a major difference, but if you're just regular joe M5 owners I think it's mostly all in your head.

[fun2drv]

Just picked up my 19 M5 Comp on Saturday and it came with the Michelin tires!!! I have been extremely lucky with tires and my last 3 BMWs. 15 M4, 17 M2, and now the 19 M5 all have come with Michelin tires!

Is there anyway to request a specific tire?

I don't think so.
