Info off Tirerack.com. I didn't try researching for a cheaper price.
more information on tires etc...I have been reading up for track tires and came across some info related to Michelin PSS vs. other tires.
I am seeing that COntinental DWs are comparable to the PSSs but cheaper. Have not researched this yet but if you are seriously considering new tires stil this year it may warrant a look see...if I get a chance I am going to do a comparison on TIreRack.com and see what the deal is. Just thougt I would let you know.

When I compared the two I found that the MPSS were rated better in every way than the DWs. Overall rating is 7.8 for DWs and 9.2 for MPSS. So I am still sold on them.

ok-thx for the info. Just thought maybe i could save some bucks.
I do love the stickiness of the PSS. I have zero complaints. And after 3 auto-x events they are down to 7/32 (original tread depth is 10/32).
After a full summer though I'll be screwed-another 1000 bucks. Crap.

Ya it looks like tires will be a two summer at a time thing. I usually do Mid-Ohio spring and fall and am debating if I should get into that Auto-x too. Could be a tire killer. We will see.
