This has turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Even though I have not had the opportunity to test them in winter like conditions, I can honestly say that not only do they handle much better in highway and back road driving than the PSS, they're much quieter. I always felt that I had to muscle my way when takng a high speed turn in my PSS. Not anything like my new Conti's. It's almost as if my all season Conti Pure Contacts are the performance tire that the PSS should have been. Go figure! I'm anxious to see how they do when it snows but I'm so happy with the handling of these tires in dry condition, I don't even care. I'm sure it's better than what my PSS were like in snow. Bottom line....I could not be happier and with these new tires, I fallen in love with my Z again!
