They seem to be wearing evenly and are relatively inexpensive. This is not to say that your choices are bad, just wanted to offer my $.02...let us know what you decide.

Have you ran pilot sports / potenzas before? If so, is there a ride quality difference?

I'm up for new tires (live in FL) - and the v12 price is tough to beat - I don't track.

For the STREET - for potenza’s I’ve had RE050 (base 350z 17in size on a 240sx), RE11 and RE71R, my experience is always nice and smooth when brand new, but noise and harshness substantially increased once the initial layer is worn off. I don’t have any quantitative measurements to provide, however.

I also had V12, same size as the RE050, same 240sx, street ride quality was much more consistent throughout its life.

I'll stand by my earlier Michelin recommendation, but I had Potenza S-04 prior to the Michelins and, in that price range, I'd say the S-04 are the best or at least one of the best. That said, there is a night and day difference between them and the PSS or PS4S, wet or dry.

I'm guessing better difference, right? 😜
