With the sale discount of $70.00 off and the refund for the tire installation and disposal fee, etc. It wound up being approx $1304.00

Nice. I'm probably going with those, since I heard rumblings the PSS's dont survive as well for track conditions...

PSS is more of a street tire that reaches up to track status. RE-11 is more of a track tire suitable for the street. While the PSS will grip just as well, from what I understand they don't withstand extended track time without chunking.

Though I have read it does take a pretty long and hard session (that's what she said) to get them to chunk. Nonetheless they won't be as durable as the RE11.

These are performance cars... they deserve performance tires.

With mount & balance I'm out about $1500 or so for my PSS.

theres a difference though, performance = track, everyday driving = suitable tires, without all the performance hype.

With tires you get what you pay for. I will never cheap out on tires again. I did once when I gave the Hankook V12s a try. Never again.

Tires are probably one of the most important components of a car if you drive hard.

If all you do is tool around, however, then go ahead and get some Hankook tires lol

Agreed. They are arguably the most importent component of your suspension system. It always pains me to see guys spend big money on suspension parts only to put on a cheap set of rubber.
