Needing some help!

GamersRecruit · 04-18-2018, 12:11 AM

Hey guys, I live in Washington state near Seattle and as most of you know, it is fairly temperate here, but does get into mid 30's and rains A LOT year round. That brings me to my question; Do you guys think I am safe to get a set off PSS to run year round, or should I go with high performance all seasons? I would normally have a summer and winter set, but I have literally no way to have another set in my current living situation (navy barracks). Thanks for the help!

Michelin does not produce the PSS anymore. They have switched over to the new PS4S. From all of the reports and opinions, these tires are better in every aspect than the PSS, including in the rain.

Will you have to drive your Z in the snow or ice? If not then get the PSS or P4S. They are great in the rain.

alright thanks, guys! I won't be driving on ice or snow nearly ever. I plan to stay home if it snows or is icy. The only other thing that has come to my attention is that my car when I am deployed will sit in a long-term parking lot for up to 9 months (most likely 6). Will leaving tires on the ground (on the car) be acceptable or will they deform after sitting on one side for too long? Thanks again for all the help you guys rock.

Thanks for the help and it's awesome to see you on here! I'm sure the Navy was a little better back then! Sure is an adventure, unless you're dry-docked for at least a year or so

Don’t underestimate the uhp/all seasons;I know the A/S 3+ to be excellent & tire compound is designed for very cold conditions as well.
Unsure your sizes,,,as other companies make some quality ones as well.

You may want to pose this question to The Tire Rack or Michelin. I would be less concerned about flat spots than dry rotting from not being driven and UV exposure but I really have no clue.
