the difference between the pss and the pzero will be hard to tell the difference.. there is not a vast difference.. is the pss a better tire..YES..
but its not vastly superior to the point where the average guy will tell the difference.. and not for anything it doesnt look like to many of these people are serious track racers.. more just weeken warriors like most of us.. who like to go and have some fun from time to time....
i noticed the difference from the passenger seat, but it also may have been the fact that steve is an extremely skilled driver :|

if you can tell the difference from the pasanger seat of someone elses car then you need to get a job being a tire tester.. because clearly you have a gift..

you can do things that pros cant even do...

certain characteristics are actually to judge from the passenger seat.

Driving instruction would be almost impossible if you couldn't judge grip/breakaway from the passenger seat.

I guess that's why you said, "slow down." :| :| :| :|

yes driving instruction from the pasanger seat.. but not testing tires from the passanger seat... can u feel certain thing and be able to instruct.. sure.. but a lot of it comes from the instructor knowing the track and where to brake accelorate etc,..

noone test tires from the passanger seat.. that a first hand experiance to be able to fully tell whats going on..

sure, but I can absolutely tell you how a tire compares from the passenger seat. Again, you get a better idea of certain characteristics when you aren't driving.

Driving instruction would be impossible if you couldn't get an idea of grip limits, audio feedback, etc.

I've driven on both tires, and can 100% tell you that anyone that thinks the Pzero compares to PSS doesn't know what they are talking about.
