For track use, RE-11 > PSS.

PSS is a street tire that reaches up towards the track category in terms of dry grip, but it won't hold up to track conditions as well as the RE-11 and it won't have the same maximum grip. You could probably chunk a set of PSS in HPDE if you're real fast.

PSS is an amazing tire. The best for the street, IMO. But I'm not gonna say it will conquer the track... because it won't. Not repeatedly, anyways.

Z1 SS brakelines
Eneos 75w90 gear oil
Eneos 5w30
Oil and diff crush washers
Motul RBF 600 brake fluid
OEM oil filter

As soon as all thats in and I get my car back I can plan a day for my enormous install. Gonna do pads, rotors, brakelines, oil change, diff oil change, sway bars and Koni's all in one day.

I'm super glad to hear this. It means that even though you have been going through some hardships of late, the love is still there! I feel a big community hug coming on!

As I have spent no time on the track this is something I would never have been able to comment upon. I think with respect to your statements then, Mr. Brucelidat is absolutely correct to proceed with the purchase of the RE-11s.

I have spoken.
