The real question is how long did your S04s last

if that's your REAL question, then you should look at all season tires... we are talking summer tires here.


S04's have good tread life, but not 30K. these are 10k-15k tires. i dont want them to last longer actually since i only put about 3-5k miles a year on these cars. would dry rot if they lasted 30k...

That roundness would probably help me fit that 245 tire closer to the fender you recommended for my font.

OP. You have enough info to make a decision on this. The one thing I would not recommend is not to have a different set on the front as you asked. Go with all four not just the rear. You will not regret your purchase.

PSS has rim protectors also. Good bonus.

Possibly....but ur wheel is 9" width at ET32 was it? You have plenty of clearance.
My q to u was backspacing (caliper clearance).

Michelin PSS are fantastic everyday and good at the track for ten minutes then suffer slightly. In the rain at the track no one I've seen has a better tire. They are quieter than stock on the freeway.

I just purchased my third set. I will never go back to stock Potenza even at half price.

No regrets with PSS. None.


EDIT: PSS make a sound before the rear lets go, unlike the stock ones.
PSS may be as close to a Ferrari as I ever get, as they come stock.

How many miles are you all getting? no info said other than positive notes of grip,sidewall and decent look. I am afraid to know but I think they do have 30k warranty?
