My question was pretty much this and you answered it, even though it seems your a bit upset at the other guy.

I also am not a big fan of basing a tire choice off a magazine article, I do understand that people are looking for something better and cheaper, but you have to sacrifice something at some point. I understand not everyone has the money to spend $400 on a a rear tire, and I technically don't either, but im not one that is willing to sacrifice in certain areas to save a few bucks, those couple of areas may save your life. I have a friend who has offered me an amazing deal on Toyo's but im not sure if I will take them. I have never diven Toyo's before.

In my history with PS2's I wont complain for an all around tire that can hold its own with out having to worry about at much. AKA a new better version of the tire came out. Eventually the PS3's will come out, if they call them that.

I think after running them and going through some of the stuff i have gone through with them they have always made a place on any car i own, I might not be able to afford them over and over, but based on my passed history it would be well worth it. I am open to alternatives, for me it really needs to be done on a test that includes all tire standings, including the PS2 in that article those numbers are not there to compare, and or personal experience(driving someone else's car with different tires or swapping wheels).

Thanks for the replies guys(gals to if any chimed in)
I have tried "other" tires...This is my second set of PS2 I ordered with my new wheels. They are $$$, But I don't mind spending the extra $$. I was considering the Bridgestones, but the weight of the PS2 and my previous experience with them made me go with another set...... ...They come OEM on many great cars, and are not "inferior" in anyway!
