Maybe I got a bad set of PSS..that's why I keep thinking about going Semi-Slicks oder superwide (285/295) in the back with PSS or a similar high performance tire.

285 in the rear really makes a big difference. When I put a set on, I realized that I had been spinning my rear tires with 265s in the rear the entire time. I would bet that you would see the same improvement as you did from PS2 to PSS when going from 265 to 285 or 295 in the rear. It's a SIGNIFCANT improvement in rear grip.

I definitely recommend going bigger up front as well at the same time, if you value the ability to turn also.
