What tires do you run?

dP3NGU1N · 03-19-2013, 02:37 AM

I'm looking at the treadwear rating on the RE11 vs PSS and the PSS seems to have double the treadlife of REs? Is this correct in practice? They seem to be similar price and performance but if the REs wear twice as quickly it seems the PSS would be the better buy.

Someone dispell my ignorance please. =\

Tread wear ratings really aren't comparable across manufacturers. They really don't compare we'll within the same brand, either. But yes, expect the PSS to last a lot longer.

not sure if 'bettery buy' should be based on wear longitivity.

i rather have a short lived great tire vs a medicre tire (not that im saying pss is a mediocre tire, i hear they are great tires) that lasts forever on my sports car.

It's like worrying about mileage or cargo space in the 370.
