Somehow managed 31k out of the stock Potenzas! (Long Interstate commute to work, mostly) Could have probably stretched a few thousand more out of them had I paid closer attention to how bad the alignment was getting. Little tread left on the outside, not even touching the wear indicators on the inside. Oops. :icon17:

Been putting new ones off through the holidays, but last straw was finding a screw in the left front a week ago. Had Discount Tire order me a fresh set of Pilot Super Sports after reading all the glowing reviews here and other places, and thus far I have to agree! I'm taking it easy on them until I get it aligned tomorrow morning, but they are definitely quieter on the Interstate. Ride quality noticeably better too. So far I'm quite impressed!

So...in honor of the new tires and a new camera in the toybox...enjoy a few pics! :D

Congrats http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif What sizes did you go with?

Pic of 31k Potenzas? Congrats on the new rubber, I'm at 14k now and the PSS are on the list. Thanks for the pics! Clean Z too!

:icon18:

When I bought my car with 14k miles the alignment was "in spec" but the rubber on the rear was 1-2/32nds on the inside and 5/6-32nd on the outside


Currently with another 16k it's a bit better, but I drive harder than the previous owner and I'm on Yokohama SDrives... Going to take it for another 2-3k miles and call it quits

I just went back with the stock sizes.

Thanks! Good luck getting yours. Never thought of taking pics of the old tires, though. They looked just like new ones, minus the majority of the tread. :rofl2:

Like I said, mostly just miles from a long daily interstate commute. Kinda suprised I got that much life out of them. I generally go pretty easy on it, other than the occasional burst of speed on 77/485, or takeoff from a light. I'm not the type to go drifting around interstate on-ramps or anything like that. :icon17:

i agree. i had some bald dunlop sp sports, switched to pss. aslong as i have the money, probably will never switch to anything else

Where is Mr. Onzedge :confused:

Not sure I can stomach going to Michelin. Always told myself I'd never buy Michelin after their fiasco in F1 in Indy and all but killing the USGP (yeah, I hold a grudge).

I could understand that! I've never followed open-wheel that closely, though I respect any form of auto racing...but I've certainly been know to hold a grudge or two against some sponsors in NASCAR from time to time. :icon17:

Another set of PSS for the win. The tire changes the car. If you are even remotely interested, find someone with them and drive em. Never ever going back. Im putting these on the GTI this summer. Both machines on PSS!!!

Nice car and pics. Great looking Z-Roadster. Really nice!

Here!!!!

My first set of PSS -- April 15, 2011.

loved mine as well... only got 13k out of them

Okay... how much have you guys dropped on a set of PSS? I have them already installed on some Volk TE37SL and I want to get a new set before the treads began to disappear....

My last set were about $1,350.00 delivered. I don't pay for mounting and balancing.
