Thanks!
Just got Michelin PSS non-RFTs to replace my OEM Bridgestone RFTs on my E93 M-Sport (18s).

Short first take: Much less harsh over sharp hits (e.g., seams, cracks, potholes); turn-in precision/ crispness still great, if not quite as sharp; ride is silky; can't say for sure about grip around turns until more miles; straight line grip under heavy throttle seems obviously better. Getting the Conti repair kit for the trunk.
