TireRack got back to me. Even the 265/35 is being discontinued, they just happen to have them in stock. Looks like I'm switching to RE-11!

Edit: Might actually do the S-04. An improvement over the RE050A by quite a bit, but a small step down from the PSS (Always finishes #2). Would be a better DD tire than the RE-11... thinking thinking thinking!

do it man, you already have 18s snow tires, you can use them for dd all year around

MyKindaGuise · 12-03-2013, 01:14 PM

I have had my eyes on the S04s as well. They seem to be doing much better than the RE50s. If you get those I want a full review!

Holy ****... $400 cheaper than the PSS! They always come a close second in the tests so this should be a really good value. Just amended my order so I'll let you know how they work out for me when I put them on in March.

Did you get the "Bridgestone performance football" or the $50 gift card? If you are getting the football, you have to bring it to a MAZOC meat!

It's funny because yesterday we were going to order PSS for my wife's Focus ST, but we noticed the S-04 was around $260 cheaper for the set. I never thought to look at the S-04 for the Z when I placed the order. $440... madness. That covers the sway bars and then some.

ALL OF THE SAVINGS!!!

But seriously I think I would have to go with those for sure if I wasn't boosted. I really wonder how big the performance gap is between the two. It may not even matter.

Welp...its off to tirerack.com

Holy crap... $800 for a set of 275/35/19 for the S-04 vs $1,280 for the PSS.

I've never been a huge fan of Bridgestone though. Tried the RE970's years back and they were loud, poor road feel and took a crapload of weight to balance properly. Who knows, things might have changed.

Just google s-04 vs pss. Car and driver has a nice test setup comparing the S-04 and 5 other tires. S-04 placed 2nd over the RS3s and and the AD08s. Ive been persuaded.

Good to know. I'll be in the market for some new summers soon.

Most girls are looking forward to new summer swim wear. You are looking for summer performance tires...

I approve
