my 2004 crossfire came with pss on them.. i changed to the pirellis within 5k miles... the car felt more stable and had more grip..

maybe the compound they are useing now is better than what they used back in 2004-2005..but i did not like the michelin at all..

I don't think the PSS were even out at that time.

PSS weren't around in 2004. You must be thinking PS2?

Gotcha.

Well, Im sure you know almost none of this applies to drag strip characteristics.

AutoX...its applicable in a minor way at best, since the runs are so short, your tires arent truly running hot in the first place.

Pretty amazing how much they can change after a hot lap or two on a track, however...

Yep and that's where even the PSS falls behind the RE11s of the world.
