Could use help with a rather odd issue

check out FP's post in the RE11 thread. he's running wide tire setup. RE11's and S04's have wheel protector sidewalls.

stay away from DW and PSS if you want wheel protection. round sidewalls are pretty much worthless for that. i speak from experience on the DW..

I'll do exactly that. I really do like how the RE11 look as well, not as plain looking as the PSS. I'll check it out once I get home thanks.

I have the PSS on the front and S-04 on the back. The PSS run narrow for the same size tire so they would offer less rim protection unless you went much wider. The S-04 are good tires and a good value. They wear faster than the PSS but they are also much cheaper than the PSS.

Thanks, good info. I'll keep that in mind while deciding.

yah, RE11's are definitely nice. even though they are extreme high performance tires, the ride is smooth and comfy.

So I have been reading. I just need to figure out where I should go on the tire size.

they are plenty wide and sticky for my ride.

I see, my wheels are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. Tires are 245/40ZR19 and 275/35ZR19
