I just purchased a set of the PSS today and cant wait to get them on. My friend has the PS2 on his M3 and drives very aggressively and they are holding up very well.

Thinking of going with michelins PSS 265/35/19 F + 285/35/19 R wondering if that is the right stagger for 19x9.5et22 and 19x10.5et12? Also I shouldn't have any problems after installing the swifts spec R springs, as far as rubbing right?

thanks in advance for all the opinions/advice.

Good luck, the front seems like it can hit especially lowered. My 285/30/18 can barely clear the front fenders with stock suspension, and I have a 35mm offset front wheel. Problem isnt your tire, it's the weird offset you got in the front.

Ordered Pilot Super Sports today- get late next week

Got 27,000 on Potenza's PLUS six (6) tracks days- rear slicks now and 1/32 on fronts- drove in rain today still pretty sticky

Will try PSS at Limerock Park two weeks

Be careful dude... make sure you are aligned properly... not sure what this dude was really doing, but the tire damage is pretty bad.

front camber isnt adjustable on the Z. The tire is a good performance tire, not sure if they are meant for track days....

:iagree:

That guy seemed like he was abusing those things at the same time though... they are pretty beat up for "taking it easy". Other guys seem to be fine on the track in them... just saying be careful...

All the reviews for the PSS are extremely positive including track performance so I am not expecting anything surprising.
I liked the Potenza's - they performed very well as DD & track days. But when puting out $1600 for new figure try something else- if any of the press reviews are close these could be better than the stock Potenza's
I read the BMW post - and Damn I have no idea how he was driving- something was not right

$1600? where did you buy? Tire Rack is cheaper than that...

That guy looked like he was power sliding all over the place

The T37 SL's only come in that offset in the 19 X 9.5, I guess lowering will not be and option.
