Ran the M1 till the M3 came along. I liked them and the bike had no evil handling quirks.

Changing to the M3 required different suspension settings.

I am on my 2nd set of M3's on my S3, if that is any help, and have been very pleased with tip in, stability, wet and dry traction.

they also look the Bomb! : ]

Cast wheels stay with the 170 180 on the PMs.

I say this for a reason. The M1 you can get away with the 180 on a 5 inch. The M3 is another story. The M3 has a dual radius profile and the sidewalls are a lot stiffer than the M1.

You will find the M3 front with its tri radius profile makes for excellent tip in and tracking.
