I had a set installed on my factory 19" Rays last week, in standard OEM sizes. I'm still breaking them in and haven't driven aggressively but first impression is that they are less noisy than the Potenzas. Not much, but noticeable. I went on a 200 mile freeway round trip Saturday. I didn't notice any difference in ride comfort but from what everyone says about the performance I think I'll be pleased. Now if I can get more than the 18K miles out of them that I got with the Potenzas I'll really be happy.

hey guys here is a question please chime in..
Looking to get the PSS it seems that getting the 255/35/19 isn't a problem, but apparently and according to multiple sources the 295 only comes in a 30/19... would it be a problem if ran a size 255/35/19 up front with 295/30/ 19 rear..If indeed it is a problem what do you guys recommend I run with.. maybe 265/30/19 F with the 295/30/19 R ...hmmmmm
specs of wheels are 19x9.5 +22 F / 19x10.5 +12 R
thanks..

Fern to the Z

I just got and installed PSS for my nismo wheels: 275/35/19 Front and 305/30/19 Rear. I will track my car in 3 weeks..., will report back the result.

Btw 305/30/19 PSS is about 1" wider than 305 RE11.... weird But hey... this means more meat and traction
