Tires for a daily driver?

GOBLUE

That is true, but the total spread on the scores is 7.47 to 7.84. It seems their scale is too compressed. If you look back at their summer tire comparisons over the past 3 years, the Michelin has beaten every tire, every year. I certainly can see your point regarding cost though... maybe not worth the extra money.

One other point, the Michelin has a tread wear rating of 300 vs. 280 on the Bridgestone. Not a big difference, but the Michelin should last a bit longer. Anyways, both good tires.

Yeh, it's a cost vs performance issue. My suspicion is that 99% of the Z owners can't drive their car well enough to even begin to take advantage of the marginal performance advantage of the PSS over the S-04.

OTOH, if we're talking about tread wear, the tread life implies real dollars, so if the PSS lasted twice as long as the S-04 (for example), they'd be a bargain despite the fact that a set of four is $340 more expensive. With a tread wear rating of 300 compared to 280 however....not even close.

Just do you know treadwear is a number given by the manufacturer and there is no "standard" so it's hard to compare those numbers especially if they're that close. And Michelin is usually top with tirerack but in my own conspiracy I think they give tirerack kick back as well. Don't get me wrong I think the ps2 is the best daily tire out there for performance but just a thought
