If the pss will be the lower budget option. I'll take it. They're perfect at our power level.

It's a 6.2 engine, not sure why MB named it 63, nevertheless, I agree they have a beast motor


I first used PSS on my G35 where I got stock size and I liked them a lot, when I got my Z, I bought PSS for my new wheel set, but now want something stickier as the car isn't a DD. Hopefully the new Michelins comes in 275/40/20, I will take Michelins any day for the 392 if they are available

I don't correct people that say 6.3 because then they wanna know why and then I have to explain. I did it when I first got the car, now its just easier to go with it lol. hers a copypaste:

Press release first mentions 6.3-liter V8 engine and then later states 6208 cc. To comply with German law, Mercedes-Benz is required to round up the displacement figure to 6.3 when used for marketing purposes. Germany charges per liter so I'm assuming that law helps rake in a little extra.

from the link I have in my original post they will have it:

"275/40 ZR20 106 (Y) XL"

Thanks for the info, was lazy to search so didn't wrote it.

And that's great news, I think they will be my next set for the Charger

Figures. I just bought my first set of PSS three weeks ago. Looks like they're about $90 (per four) cheaper today. But I do like them a lot.

TireRack now has them for pre-purchase (well you can add them to your cart). Available 03/01/2017
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Pilot+Sport+4S

I think they're slightly more expensive than PSS

I thought everyone like the RE11 on this forum. I have been a die hard PSS user in the Corvette world but now that I purchased the Z I have been reading RE11?? Maybe those were old threads or something....??

I see Michelins for quite a bit cheaper... but I'm stationed in Germany so I'm closer to the source.

Nah, PSS & RE11's have equal following here. I personally never cared much for the RE11's after I already owned a set of PSS. But I bought em to see if the grass was greener on the other side.
