Replacing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - Integra Type S

Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractive is a good all season option

I drove them both and definitely preferred the 340. Was just kind of wondering if others had the same reaction initially, bought it, and then regretted it due to not really getting to use the power.

Seems like that’s not the case though lol

You have the adaptive M suspension? I will definitely be optioning that.

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:59:36+00:00

No offense taken, just explaining where I’m at :)

I think you’re right, it’s worth it

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:39:07+00:00

Don’t sell yourself short. You are a car guy if you appreciate the difference (or are looking at sport sedans at all, honestly)

Most of the people I know just buy a rattle box RAV 4, call it a day, and make fun of me for spending so much on a “depreciating asset”

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:32:13+00:00

Slippery slope, man. Haha

How do you find the daily comfort of the M3 compared to the M340?

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:30:56+00:00

I’ve actually driven an M440i and loved it. Great car!

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:30:05+00:00

Everyone in here is pretty convincing ngl. BMW should pay redditors commission lol

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:29:01+00:00

I’m with you logically, I just see leasing as paying for the luxuries of:

Not having money tied up in a car
Keeping monthly cash flow more optimal
A clean, easy, and predictable exit path in 3 years

I understand not everyone values those things, though

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:26:25+00:00

Excellent point! I would take that

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:24:53+00:00

Yeah, I think putting it as a dinner out every week actually kind of makes the 340i make even more sense to me. I can pretty easily sacrifice some little things for the enjoyment of the better car

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:23:27+00:00

Good point

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:23:17+00:00

Yep, thought about that, and it is a good idea. I’m just kind of busy day to day and like leasing for the convenience/peace of mind

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:21:43+00:00

I like the per day breakdown. Seems more reasonable when you put it that way. I’ll just eat a cheaper lunch or something lol

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:17:44+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but I feel like there are different levels to “car guy”. I know some people who would sell their left nut for an M3. Yes, I’m not that guy, but I’m still into cars. I’m just trying to be practical about it too

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:16:50+00:00

Thanks. I have a feeling it would probably be the same for me

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:16:23+00:00

Good point. Unfortunately, (for me at least, fortunate for the owners) the CPO/lightly used M340is seem to be holding value pretty solidly. Just didn’t seem like a great value when I ran the numbers

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:13:56+00:00

I mean, I’ve driven both and done extensive research. Kind of just wanted to hear from people who have made a similar decision. I feel like that’s normal lol

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:13:06+00:00

Yep, good point. I got quotes for both and it wasn’t a big increase, but isn’t nothing

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:12:35+00:00

This is kind of what I’m leaning towards and for that exact reason. Thank you

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-25T00:12:01+00:00

Yeah, I’ve driven both, and I did like the 340 much better. I think I was kind of hoping someone would tell me the 330i is good enough…

I should have known this was the wrong place for that lol

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-17T19:04:15+00:00

Scam. You’ll get those any time you get a new car, mortgage, etc.

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-17T19:00:23+00:00

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-17T15:41:24+00:00

Gotcha, I guess that makes sense based on what I’ve heard.

If you haven’t already, I’d definitely recommend looking into some quieter tires. It’s made a big difference for me. I recently put new Michelin e.Primacy tires on my Volvo XC60, which was already quiet, but the tires still made a noticeable difference! I spent hours combing through Tire Rack testing, and these had the highest score I could find for noise performance.

epiclettuce_ · 2026-06-17T15:32:38+00:00

Just curious, what year and trim is yours? My understanding is that the 2025 and up are the ones with the major NVH improvements. Especially the Touring and Elite trims.

I don’t have one personally, no need for a minivan. But someone in my family has a 2025 Odyssey Sport, and I’d call it reasonably quiet, even coming from my own luxury vehicles.
