I can not wait to get rid of these P-Zeros! MPS4S going on tomorrow....

I'm on the fence about P-Zero N1 vs. MPS4S N0. I find the Micheline works much better in cold and rainy weather, which is good for a Canadian like me but in warmer weather, I'd have to say the P-Zero has much better steering feel and a bit more grip. It's louder, though too.

Likewise, especially when you factor in the appalling wet weather performance and terrible wear characteristics.

I think those are the kind you can put under the whole car and maneuver the whole car around inside a garage!! Not just tires.
Those would be nice to have.

I don't have one of those aftermarket centerlock centering tools, so I thought I would use them in conjunction with the quickjacks, putting the car at just the right height, to aid wheel removal and ensure no contact with the rotor. It actually turns out it really isn't hard to pull the wheels off cleanly*, without them, but they are convenient for moving the wheels around in the garage, not having to lay them on their side or have them unintentionally roll off.
*my technique is to use the quickjacks in their lower locked position, then sit in my garage chair to pull the wheel, where I can use my arms and legs in a very steady position to pull the wheel cleanly off the hub. Very easy...
PS, these are the vehicle dollys I'm using, about $48/pr:
PSS: The Armstrong 3:1 torque multiplier worked superbly for removing the centerlocks! I did need to extend the reaction arm of the multiplier with a piece of pipe so it contacted the ground, but easy peasy!

Om my M5, I only got 11k out of the rears, but because the fronts were still pretty good, I bought another set of rears - they also lasted 11k, and the fronts were toast as well, so 22k out of the fronts. And absolutely the worst wet weather tyre ever.

Yes, they are for rolling around a car, but I have yet to actually do that with them!

Thursday I had another Carbon fiber piece (the cup holder) installed with the "RS" insignia painted in Carrera White installed. It matches the PDK shifter I did
earlier this spring and the "RS" complements the RS on my wheel caps. I just happen to like the look. The dealership also installed the recalled Heat Shield that everyone has been talking about here on the forum. If you need Carbon parts I would definitely recommend DB Carbon from Germany. They do great work.
