I also haven't figured out how to do launch control... so I need to figure that out because I think the computer maximizes the power without the spin for the best 0-60 time... but I could be naive'
but the point was that this set up is LIGHT YEARS better than the Pirellis that the car came with. I was spinning all the time... and I even thought the car had suspension issues because it would change directions as you drove aggressively in a straight line... I was going to have BMW check ball joints, sway bars, links, etc... with the new Michelins, it's straight as an arrow when accelerating. whew,, much less butt pucker now!
Nice.
The best 0-60 I got was 3.6x with Nito NT05 (305/30/20)
I'm not sure if anything quicker than 3.5 second is achievable with this DCT due to very short first gear ratio (4.8:1) on a RWD config

Attesting to 305/30/20 MP4S. With the tyres properly warm, I could press to the floor without TC blinking in gear 3 and some times in 2. Maybe I am a bad driver, launch control works but the car was spinning with side to side swaying, I had needed to terminate all the times I tried the launch control

also, since our cars' speedo is showing faster than actual, maybe the extra height of the tire would make it more accurate...

has anyone tried the 315/35/20? if so, which brand?

these 295's P-Zero's stink... I spin like crazy even when not hammering the car.
Toyo R888R 315/30/20, slightly noisy.
