You'll be sliding all over the place .

They are VERY pressure sensitive, so will feel really boaty with too much air in.

Had these on a mate's Z4M at the 'ring (as that was what were on the car when he bought it ), and they felt like they were trying to kill us until the pressures we right.

First track day,propably wouldn’t bother changing much,fluid maybe,Rs 29s maybe,but Perfomance friction are half the price,decent tyres will last you all day and the trip home,when you get the hang of it,start up rating stuff,but first time,I don’t think its really needed,just enjoy the day,you won’t be setting any pole times,IMHO of course,but what do I know

As far as i am concerned and according to the german M-forum they were nothing but rebranded Pagids RS 19's but with street legality in germany but with double the price tag

I would just buy them directly, i heard nothing but praise about the successor of the successor, called Pagid RSL.
I run RS29, so the successor of the RS19 since a couple years, they work very well with the stock calipers. However they are a bit noisy (squealing and rattling).
