Wrong discussion group, but did you get them from TR or elsewhere?....I'm having an internal debate right now between the R11's (gotta go with 285s on the rear) or the Michelin SS's...... thoughts?

I went in to Curry's Auto Service - Dulles (nice guys) and basically said:
"I want to get a set of PSS - If you can match Tire Rack, I'd love to support local business..."

they did

will definitely keep them in mind. I am planning on getting SS when the bridgestones wear out, which is gonna be a while.

Steve... a small comparison between the two:

Dry Grip - RE11 should have more ultimate grip in dry, but the PSS comes close. The RE11 is like a track compound optimized for street use. The PSS is like a street tire that reaches up towards track status in terms of grip.
Wet Grip - The PSS is the clear winner
Treadlife - PSS should last quite a bit longer than the RE11

If you think you'll really track your car (and track it quickly) I'd go with the RE11. For mostly street use I'd go with the PSS.

Thanks Steve -- good feedback. Gonna have to decide soon, left rear was down to 0 PSI this morning -- aired it back up and watching to see if it's a slow leak or what........will probably pull the trigger after the race today.....

look what you caused! I wanted Steve to bring the 5.0. I guess you'll just have to go home to get the 5.0 so you can give me a ride in it Steve.

Where are we going for lunch Randy?

m4a1mustang · 04-02-2012, 04:08 PM

Maybe I'll tow the s2k with the 5.0.
