I always found the Continentals on my old M3 pretty good, they were very good in the rain, never used them on track though if that makes a difference to you?

I've always rated the Falkens FK452's

Not saying there as good as the PS'2 but for the price they have got to be worth a look

If anyone does find somewhere with 265/30/19 PS2s in stock, please post here. I also need a set within a couple of weeks.

kwik fit seem to have them online at £577 fitted - have you tried them (they get their Michelins direct from Europe supplied as they are owned by them)
