MPS4's - initial thoughts

Post by rc944 » Wed May 30, 2018 2:11 pm

So im about 500 miles into my new set and compared to the MPS3s, they seem a little more keen to break away on the limit and altogether a bit more slippery...

anyone else had similar

Not my experience at all.

I've done about 3500 miles on mine and am delighted with the improved grip confidence, quieter running and improved fuel economy

I also have the mps4's on the B3 (I assume we are talking about the none sport version for the 18" wheels). Done around 10k on them now and holding up well so far.
They have proved to be a very good all round tyre and much better than any other brand, they worked very well during the winter months - but still not as good as the classic super sports I have on the M3. If I had the choice and funds I would probably fit the super sports on the Alpina as well, othwise happy to fit these again.
