Thanks for the input guys but it sounds like no one is really sure. I agree with the Bridgestone pole position statement. And PSS is the go to tire for performance right now... But are there similar alternatives for about $1,000 straight. I'm on my third set of tires in 24,000 miles. I'm averaging 8,000 miles a tire. Sport pkg sizes run $1,500 per change after tax and service charge... I'm gettin hit. I remember the good old days when high performance tires were $800.
Any alternatives that are about $1,000 to 1,100 mounted
My guess is the S001 potenza was chosen to reduce road noise? The RE50A potenza isn't bad under the right temps and conditions. And not bad in rain unless pushed. But PSS has a broader weather condition spectrum in which they run optimum. Summer tires in rain generally can perform well in normal speeds but the RE seems to lose a lot of traction at 50% tread vs pss.
