I've heard reviews from people who had the HKS and switched to the KW's that LOVE the KW's, but again each review is based on that persons likes/dislikes... But when I got mine, I really couldn't pass up the deal I got. So that swayed me a bit, but I've been happy with them ever since.
Chris,
I saw you mentioned goingwith some all seasons next. I would highly recommend keeping UHP summers on and simply picking up a set of cheap wheels and putting some true winter tires on for the few months you'll need them. I'm afraid that after being used ot PSS's, you're going to be very frustrated at the "crappiness" of any of the all seasons.

Which is why I'm looking at staying with Michelin, their AS' have almost the same performance characteristics of the PSS' so it's almost like you don't really loose a lot. Plus I can't afford to be hindered by hard rain if I have to be somewhere...

I'm planning on getting a set of wheels for Tracking (18's) and those will have sticky tires, and the All seasons would go on my 19's. I dunno what to do really... I'm just tired of hassle haha.

ahh, well if you are going with a dedicated set of track wheel/tires, then disregard what I said.

I prolly could use them for dedicated winter wheels too, being as most snowy tires are common in 18's rather than 19's. But we don't get that much Snow here. I just have to worry about heavy rains.
