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

$1600 was including TAX and balance, mounting, tire disposal.. (Tires alone ~$1400) Think Tire Rack is $1384 - I bought mine at the Z dealership - I have them service the Z - I have had no problems and they treat me pretty well and I get free coffee/ donuts too

I thought Starbucks was expensive......

I got mine on April 15th from Tire Rack. The delivered price was $1,383.00. Luckily, mounting, balaning and disposal was n/c. One has to consider total cost of ownership before declaring these as "expensive". They are ecpensive, no doubt, but if the mileage is even close toexpectations, I will still be driving this set when I could be footing another $900 - 1,000 bill for less expensive ones.

just bought a set (255/35/19 & 305/30/19) should be on the porch tomorrow when I get home from work, now if only my te37 superlaps would get here so I could mount them

Lou over @ amplified is working his a** off to get me that set of Volks so I dont mind setting up a cool beer pong table with Michelins for legs for a couple more weeks

shumby · 05-24-2011, 10:51 AM

i got 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 on my G37. Love them got teem installed for $1123. Tires are awesome low road noise less tromilling. great in the rain so far.

jikhead · 05-24-2011, 03:04 PM

I just drove about 500 miles yesterday on them on the highway. They were really quiet and it rained nearly the entire time; no issues in the wet whatsoever at 80mph on the freeway.

I got hankooks and was very disappointed with the turn in felt like my sway doubled and car lost a lot of the instant response and rolled more. that said they were quieter hooked up better and after the initial roll realley cornered well, They were cheap $800 for the set and are lasting well, excellent in the rain. I am considering trying these michlenes next time around.

I completely agree! they might be the perfect tire. my ONLY gripe (and it is minor) is the tramlining. SoCal freeways have those stupid grooves in freeways here (like it rains here?) and i can feel them all. regular roads though = grip heaven
