M760Li - Will need new shoes soon

So I will be replacing the tyres on the M760Li soon. Would.like to hear experiences with non runflats, if anyone has changed them on the beast. Comfort, grip and rolling resistance. Priority in that order
Here is what I narrowed down the options

1. Continental Contisportcontact 5
2. Michelin PS4S
3. Vredestien Ultrac Vorti +

The PS4S are the best performance tires I have ever had on a car, but they are performance oriented and therefore comfort comes last.

I would suggest the AS 4+ from Michelin, with excellent performance and better comfort than the 4S. Plus, they do better in cold weather.

Thank you. But it looks like they don't do the standard sizes in the AS4 range.

A couple months ago I replaced the OEM Goodyear runflats on mine with the Conti ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus..they've been great so far. Vastly better ride, better handling, quieter, and won't constantly blow out sidewalls like the horrid Goodyears. And, half the price...will be interesting to see how they do this winter.

My M760 came with Non RFT Michelin PSS and they are great. Ride Comfort is very good and performance is outstanding. They are also very quiet.

I would not put any all season tires on a car like this. The weight, and power of this car really require an ultra high performance tire.

The PS4S are a newer version of PSS and a better tire overall so I'd absolutely go with those. They are better than every other tire out there right now. I have had PS4S on several cars, including an F95 X5M and they are unbelievable tires in every way. One thing to note is that If you live in cold climates you'll need a set of winter tires.

I have PS4S on my M760Li. Changed them mostly for the higher top speed capability. I’m very happy with them.
