yah, just want to clarify that by "class" im referring to the tire performance classification, not where your car would be classified in an autox.

i dont think the PSS and RE11's are direct comparison as S04's are more for street/high performance like the PSS. PSS vs S04 would be more in the same performance class, i think.

You are right on. I do think the PSS is faster than the S04, but that's another story. I ran my car with the RE11, it was nearly as fast as myself running a 997 GT3 on PSS. Unless you are drinking the Nissan kool-aid too much, I highly doubt you think it is possible for a 370 to keep up with a GT3. It's the tires.....

996 gt3 I assume? Why did you switch from the P Corsas?

997 GT3. 997 GT3 can come with Michelin Cups or Corsas. It was switched out to the PSS as the car was no longer being used at the track or autox. The owner just took it out for an autox when he had the chance, I just happened to have a chance to turn a few laps in it. My RE11 definitely had more grip even though his GT3 was superior in every way. The power, suspension and chassis actually made up the difference in tires too.
