well im not saying you are wrong.. but i do find it hard to believe that there is a vast difference.. when professional drivers tested the tires the comparison is close.. not that everyone doesnt value the opnions of all others on this site.. but if the pros say they are close then im gonna have to go with what they say...

again didnt say pirelli is better. i just offered what i like as a option.. but lesson learned i will just keep my opnions to myself....

pirelli was a fine brand, but they've got very little in the way of serious offerings in the range we'd be shopping.

The fact is, Pzeros (which steve had on his car prior to the PSS') are not far off in terms of raw grip. They're actually a decent tire, but the way they feel does not inspire confidence. That's fine when the pro's are testing, but if you're not dialed into your car, the limits on the pzeros feel MUCH lower.

The PZeros had massive grip (relative to something like an RE050A) but don't feel as good as the PSS at the limit. They also ride harsher, wear faster, and are louder.

PSS is really a great example of new tire technology and what's to come. I'm sure Pirelli will be refreshing their lineup with new goodies soon.

i agree with new tire technology.. but one of the things i saw many times in all comparisons about the pss is that they wish it had a softer ride... also going back to the charts all the areas you just said when compaired by pros the difference is very slight...
