comparing brands is ridiculous. they leapfrog each other every couple years.

my 2004 crossfire came with pss on them.. i changed to the pirellis within 5k miles... the car felt more stable and had more grip..

maybe the compound they are useing now is better than what they used back in 2004-2005..but i did not like the michelin at all..

i used to run the drag stip every weekend with my buddies shop dynamic motorsports.. im pretty sure my name is still on beaver sprigs raceway website along with our group photos if you go on there and look up back in like 2002-2006

also i ran auto-x when i worked at sunmotor cars porsche.. they always had driver events and i would go to as many as i could with the sales manager jon yetter...

I don't think the PSS were even out at that time.

Gotcha.

Well, Im sure you know almost none of this applies to drag strip characteristics.

AutoX...its applicable in a minor way at best, since the runs are so short, your tires arent truly running hot in the first place.

Pretty amazing how much they can change after a hot lap or two on a track, however...

They get more slidey as I like to call it :icon17:

Yep and that's where even the PSS falls behind the RE11s of the world. :tup:
