FWIW the PSS is going to look a little meatier. Both front Re11 and PSS have a 271mm section width, but the PSS with it's square shoulders has a full 10mm more measured tread width than the RE-11 (254 to 243ish).

The rear is similar. Roughly the same section width but the Super Sport has a measured tread width of around 285mm to the RE-11's 265ish.

Now, there is no standard for measuring tread width, but this all means the PSS should be visually wider than the RE-11, all thanks to the square vs. round sidewall.
