Thanks.

Unfortunately, the Nittos’ performance was less inspiring. They were second from the bottom in both dry lap time and braking, with both drivers reporting a soft feeling at the limit and that they were difficult to drive precisely because the grip would taper off in a nonlinear fashion.


I love my Michelin Super Sports.

Hey, this was the article to spark Michelin to design the Almighty PSS. well Hankooks got much respect in this article. Maybe it will qwell some of that hankook hate??? I would go michelin PSS in a heartbeat. But let's say I was a little tight on funds? I can rock hankooks WITHOUT shame and know I have a top quality product. Braking stats and dry wet stats were fine. Which is most important out of any street tire. And performance is competitive to higher end tires for an exceptional price.

It's an old test (2009) so I doubt it will do much to quiet the hate. I hated the V12s because of the feel. Far too squishy for my taste.

They are definitely a decent option if you don't want to drop $1500 on a set of tires, though.
