No you don't. the M3 is way more stable in the wet than the S was.

Switched my T/C off yesterday when I need get get out of a junction pretty quickly (I find sometimes in these circumstances the T/C kicks in and your left stranded in the middle of the road).

Feck me, I couldn't believe how easy it was to lightup the rears, and snake up the road. It was bone dry too . Good tho

Dave -

Mikey - Your name's first on the list when the time comes to sell...

Pip - Cheers! Shall I put you down as second on the list just in case Mikey decides to buy yet another S2000 instead...?!!

Sub - I actually found the ride better with the CSLs... But as I've said before, anything's going to be better than the Contis! Do it - you know you'll regret it if you don't...

So, does dumping the Contis (for PS2's) mean improved ride and grip?

Sorry Dave - wasn't online yesterday so I've only just seen your question.

In my experience, the answer is yes.

I'll caveat that by saying I only did a few hundred miles with the standard M alloys before changing to the CSLs but it seems that a few people over on the "dark side" forum seem to agree.

They also seem to recommend Falkens as a cheaper alternative too.

Have you killed your Contis already then...?!!
