Bridgestone s-04 or michelin ss?
 

I really don't like the original tires. I put s-04 on my last g35 and they rocked. I heard michelin are a notch above. I heard however there are flat spot issues with the pss?? Definitely don't want that.

Which one should I buy? Read lots of posts on his and everyone seems torn...

Dunlop direzza z2. Replaced re-11's and they are better than the Bridgestones. Don't skimp on tires.

Everything I read has been saying those two are the best...

Can you afford the PSS?
If so, get them. Case closed. Never heard of flat spots. Just buy them. You get a mileage warranty too

If you're planning on driving it every day Id give the pss a try.

I too read about the flatspotting issues on the pss so got a new set of S04's again. :)
This is on my G

PSS. Never an issue of any kind here and I do work them!

This isn't my daily driver. So with it sitting sometimes I worry about possible flat spots. The s-04s were such good tires when I had them before.

Yes. The price isn't an issue.

I have the PSS and love them, I never tried the bridgestones, but my next set will be PSS again

It's close! So for those of you who think pss, you don't think I will have any flat spot issues if I only drive it a few times per week?

somewhat correct. you get a half life warranty. it's 30K is its a square set-up. only 15k warranty on a staggered set-up. called them once since i ran trough my rears of PSS's in about 15k miles.

just FYI :tiphat:

sidenote: that wasnt a problem just info on the warranty. once spring comes closer i'm buying another set of PSS'. best tires i've ran. bumping to a wider set this tiem around though. thinking 265/295 set up.

my Z sits for months in the winter in my garage.i maybe move it 10-15 ft back then forward when i start it up once a month to move fluids around and make sure the battery is good and i've never had any flat spots or issues with mine.

^^ thats good to hear about non flatspotting on your ride.

yea its nice but to be honest it wouldnt matter lol i trash a set of tires every summer when i can actually drive my car. so the front tires will be tossed and the rears which are currently spare pirellis i had to put on since with 2 weeks of driving time left my PSS's were showing thread badly on the rears and were very unsafe lol so those rears dont matter to me either. got 4 for $25 each off a local guy for back ups :tiphat:

I have PSS's on my car which sits in a parking garage 9 days out of 10. No flat spots.
I love them. They grip well in dry and wet conditions and are even a few lbs lighter than other tires. The only downside is that they wear out pretty fast during hard driving.

in my area my weeks are 7 days long, not 10 days. :ugh:

Went with s-04! Thought long and hard about this. I was amazingly impressed with the feel and feedback of the s-04 on my g35. When I bought them before I spent around 1100. Cheaper this time. Just got them and will get them installed when it's not -40 below windchill here in iowa.

Good choice, I had s-04 before I went PSS, I liked them, but was convinced the PSS were better from all the reviews etc, I found I am one of the rare people or only one in fact that did not like the PSS, their physical grip was indeed good, but the sidewalls are soft and sloppy, which gives them a good ride, but if you corner hard, they are sloppy IMO, I burned through the rears in 7k, didn't even get a pro rate for them(and we are a MIC tire dealer at work) and never looked back, I am throwing away the fronts once the car comes out of storage, biggest waste of 1200 bucks in my entire life.

I had pss on my old g35 for a few weeks before buying new rays. That's when I first bought the s-04. I thought they handled excellent and feedback and direction was good.
