The Michelin PS4s is available in the stock sizes, my current sizes, and would also allow the 255/285 setup above. It would also have the option of going toa 265/30 up front and 295/30 in the rear. Hmmm. Decisions Decisions.
What is the word on the street regarding these tires?

I get the impression from blogs and whatnot that the PS4S is supposed to be the next step in evolution for the PSS with improved levels of wet and dry grip, which sounds like the ultimate street and perhaps wet track tire. Are you running RE71 on the street? People have made those tires sound like a streetable track tire with levels of grip approaching NT01s with limited tread life to match. All this armchair speculation aside, I haven't heard any direct feedback from anyone actually running these tires (yet). Hopefully this means that the PSS will hit firesale prices ...
