My observations is that is true when I compare them to my Re-11's. PSS's are better at the track than the S0-4's but not as good as the Re-11's. However if the objective is to keep cost low and a tire that rides nice with low noise...S0-4's are the ticket!

Yea it was a tough call but in the end I figure I'll try them since they are about 500.00 cheaper than mpss and people have tracked both and get conflicting reports, so one of those won't know till I try. I know the re-11 is the true dual duty tire but I want something that will still last a bit and I'm still only group a (2nd time) so I won't even be pushing it. I figure a second set of wheel and re71r will be my route later.

Anyhow I don't want to hi jack this guys thread. Doesn't sound like he is going to be pushing the car so I would probably say get the conti dw. It sounds like a great tire for street, little softer sidewalk to counter the z firm suspension, supposed to be pretty grippy and also have a decent wear rating. That's probably what I'll do if/when I get some 18 and re71r for track.
