+1 Replaced my tires (on the other car) with the PSSs, cannot be happier! Hands down a huge improvement over PS2s. Since you are lowered you can stick with stock sizing, but I'll likely go with 255s front 285s rear when I do the switch.

+2, you don't even have a tire choice for street (and occasional track) driving with the 1M in my opinion, they are goooood and also cheaper. With a lowered car definitely stay stock.

+3 for the PSS's huge upgrade from the PS2's and ~$100 per tire less cost.

Just about...EVERYTHING: handling, road noise, tread wear, hydroplaning, compound, structure, price, etc..
Go to Tirerack and you can compare them side by side and read all the user reviews

Anybody ever tried the Continental Extreme Contact DW tires? For the size I want they would end up being about $500 less than the PSS tires. That's 265 front and 285 rear. PSS would be 265 front and 295 rear (they don't make a 285).
I'm sure they PSS tires are better then the Conti's but considering they only last a year or less I'm thinking I might try the less expensive ones. Also I'm not 100% certain the 295 will fit on the stock wheel. EDIT: Added DW to the Conti tire name. I guess there are several iterations. Last edited by robertm; 02-03-2012 at 09:42 AM.. |

If you want to go cheap and you want grip, go with the Hankook RS3 |
