For track use, RE-11 > PSS.

PSS is a street tire that reaches up towards the track category in terms of dry grip, but it won't hold up to track conditions as well as the RE-11 and it won't have the same maximum grip. You could probably chunk a set of PSS in HPDE if you're real fast.

PSS is an amazing tire. The best for the street, IMO. But I'm not gonna say it will conquer the track... because it won't. Not repeatedly, anyways.
