I agree, I didn't want to have to buy a set, but when they called me back to see the right rear which had the steel braiding showing through... yeeeeeah, it was time for a new set... wallet be damned.

I made the mistake of listening to a friend and getting Advan all-seasons when my rear tires were finished and now that my front factory wheels are dead after 16k miles, I'm replacing the full set. NEVER listening to that friend for car advice again |

If he is... Banned! Nothing wrong with all seasons if your crunched for cash, and understand you can't push as far as with ultra performance summers. Me personally, I don't like having 2 different tire combo's or 2 different mileage worn tires... I replace all 4 even if only 1 is bad. But that's just me.

and ya at that time I just REALLY needed new rear tires because I had spun out on the freeway in the rain going well under the limit and got within inches of the center divider due to my tires being worn down (completely my fault for not replacing them sooner ). and I just can't wait to get these tires as soon as possible so I can enjoy experiencing everything the reviews are saying about these tires instead of just reading them =D |

I'll put it this way I have tried everything aside from rubbing lard all over them to get them to break free. Going 80 into a 90* turn, didn't budge, driving over gravel, stayed true... Hell the only thing that really defeats them is either a standing start, or VDC off start.
I have video's of each too. They do leave behind a great streak though.

Invos are OK if you are on a budget. Won't be anything like the PSS but I know a number of people that like them.
