Very Interesting Lawsy!!....... i had no end of issues with overheating due to the amount of lateral movement in the side walls. You sure you just weren't fast enough back then ..... also, i suppose it depends which tyre your using as well, from what i understand, Cups do have a much stronger sidewall than the Direzzas, and probably 888's, AO48's too, but i'm not convinced.......I run 10's on the front and 11's on the back, and i'm sticking to it.....PLANTED!!!

Mate, Don't listen to em ..... you just gotta look at em to know it aint right.....you need 9.5 minimum to get the best from em....and as the lady's know, you cant beat a bit of stretch

I messaged Rimstock a week ago about the price of 9.5j team dynamic 1.2's but have had no reply…
Getting turner motorsport limiter bushes and putting new bushes in the rear trailing arms and maybe subframe aswell although the bushes for the subframe are £300 from america!
I think spring rates play a large part it's just finding out what I need that's the issue, I know Schirmer swap them out on the KW's as they did on Al's car & Ali M, but I don't know if he just puts the same ones in every M3!

It used to be the case they didn't make 9.5j PR 1.2 hence why the guys run 9.0j......it may have changed

Cool let me know, can't commit to anything though that's the problem, was going to address wheels last as everything else is cheaper
