kenchan · 01-27-2017, 01:49 PM

Sound like a game console..

I noticed that the price of the PSS have dropped recently.

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

Even crazier is how these C63 came stock with 245 rear tires, not remotely enough tires to start with.

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"

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.

SgtGoldy · 01-29-2017, 11:01 AM

TireRack now has them for pre-purchase (well you can add them to your cart). Available 03/01/2017

I think they're slightly more expensive than PSS

markesc · 01-30-2017, 07:47 PM

Yeah same here, JUST bought four new PSS last month... oh well, got that $70 rebate card

40th_z · 01-30-2017, 07:53 PM

where are you guys seeing them cheaper?

cooltoy · 01-30-2017, 11:05 PM

Seeing what cheaper?

SINISTER · 01-31-2017, 06:20 PM

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....??

cooltoy · 01-31-2017, 06:26 PM

They are the two top tires here.

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.
