Yea, I'll take issue with your calling it hype. I've had this debate on another forum. Ended when the guy drove the PSS on the track, in the dry. I assume you haven't driven it either?

It's a mistake to assume people are saying the PSS it a top flight competition specialist- it's not. It's a 300 treadware, 30k mile warranted street tire that is, under more than a couple conditions, able to compete head to head with near top of the line autocross and track specialists with less than 1/3 the treadwear and nothing like the all-around performance. It is probably not top in any one category, but it is near the top in a number. I have both the the RS-3 and PSS for my car currently on different sets of wheels, and overall the PSS is a much, much more impressive tire. Try it before you call it hype- the PSS has moved the game on by a few years.
