It seems like the S-04 PP's have pretty good tread life, at least compared to other Potenzas. I might be getting a set of those, and sacrifice the ultimate grip of the RE-11's and get more tread wear. I'll be going 295 or 305, so I'll still have way more grip than I did before.

Correction. If you go to S-04 in wider size I'd say you'd have less grip than a smaller RE11 on same size wheel.
