+1 for PSS.

I have a question. I have RE050A's in the front with tread 8/32 and my rears are at 3/32. I'm looking to buy the A/S Plus. Would it be ok to have two different sets of tires or do I need to buy a whole set? This is my first car and first time ever dealing with tires.

Never mix tires.

I'm replacing my stock Pirelli PZeros with the Pilot Super Sports this summer. Based on all of the reviews and tests it looks like it clearly outperforms the PZero, which I have found to be an excellent tire. I should get double the tread life out of them too... too good to be true? We'll see!

I've had extremely bad luck with Michelins. Not because they're bad tires, mind you. Just extremely bad luck. Tires in sidewalls, random potholes, etc. If Michelin makes the best performance tire, I'll be stuck with second best

That's weird, I feel the same way. For whatever reason whenever I have Michelins it seems I get more nails, etc in the tires than when I have other brands. I even said that to my wife while buying the Michelins last week.

PZeros are one of the comparison tires that Michelin used as a bench mark to beat. Some of the advertising claims that Michelin uses for the PSS are in comparison with the PZero (if I recall correctly)

I'm still liking mine!

Me too. These are great tires. I have about 1,800 miles on them now.

I've never run any Michelin's before so we'll see how that goes. I picked up a nail in one of my Hanpoops, so I guess you could say I have bad luck with those.

lol you picked up A nail.

I replaced all four Michelin tires and two replacements on my Mazda6 in my first year of ownership.

I want to buy a set of Michelins, but the Hydroedge is on national backorder#$%^&*

wilsonp · 05-27-2011, 12:45 PM

All the sports cars I've had (MR-2 SC, NSX, 370Z) use up the rear tires about twice as fast as the front tires.

I buy another set of rears, then swap all four when the fronts get low.
