Holy crap... $800 for a set of 275/35/19 for the S-04 vs $1,280 for the PSS.

I've never been a huge fan of Bridgestone though. Tried the RE970's years back and they were loud, poor road feel and took a crapload of weight to balance properly. Who knows, things might have changed.

Just google s-04 vs pss. Car and driver has a nice test setup comparing the S-04 and 5 other tires. S-04 placed 2nd over the RS3s and and the AD08s. Ive been persuaded.

The s-04's were what I had on my car last before the pss. I liked them, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you which where which if I had to do a blind testing of the two. Good tire in my opinion, especially for the price. When I bought the pss's there was only a $75 difference but it looks like the pss's price has caught up to the trend.

MyKindaGuise · 12-04-2013, 09:19 AM

Glad to hear someone has had both and cannot tell a difference really.

Eeeeenteresting. I mean almost a $500 difference is pretty significant, especially if the wet/dry grip are almost identical to the PSS. Might be enough to persuade me to buy the S-04 next year.

Keep in mind I'm no track guru or claim to be any type of tire expert by any means what so ever. All I'm saying is that the s-04's where good enough for me. If the price difference had been more pronounced like it is now and there wasn't such a hype around the pss's at the time I bought them, I would have been perfectly happy purchasing the s-04s again.

If they perform similarly I will be satisfied. Looking forward to testing them out in the Spring.
