I am under the impression the RE-11 runs a little wide and they definitely have stiffer sidewalls. You might have to run so much pressure in the PSS to keep them from rolling over on the sidewalls, that they have much less grip than the RE-11.

Honestly I'm interested to see what kind of feedback you get from people on this, because I think the PSS is nice and light and grippy as a road tire and will probably last more miles but the RE-11 is a bad-*** grip machine, although an older design.

Or yeah... Test it... Go on...
