I love you guys so I screen shotted the prices all the way down then stitched all the screenshots together

I'm greatly looking forward to reviews comparing it directly to the PS4S.
The Super Sports have been my tire of choice for the last 5 years. However, I've been wanting something just slightly gripper in the dry while not losing much in treadwear, since I've been burning through tires fast enough as is. So far, the reviews are promising.

hopefully they start to roll out more sizes as they become popular.

Bright side though: I assume the price of PSS will drop since these are being called the PSS Replacements. Get rid of old stock before the tire starts to dry rot

Even though I'm really looking forward to these... my tires will cost $384 a pop... maybe ill grab some PSS while they're cheap...

Hopefully they can keep up with demand. PSSs were always on back order.

The French always worked in a relax way,not like Japanese or Korean.

Have 285 & 325 on order. Timing should be good with pulling Z out of storage and OEM balding

Friday was able to get them installed. This weekend I was able to get in some "spirited" driving. I don't think I could be much happier with the tire and size choices. The car is very happy with these.

What's the verdict? are they much better or just slightly better than the pss?

RadioFlyer · 02-26-2017, 10:44 PM

Yeah, I have a set of 275/305 on order. Tire Rack claims that the delivery date will be 3/29. Hopefully they stick to that date!

axmea? · 02-27-2017, 04:06 PM

None available soon enough. Tires blew out on me this AM. Went with PSS again this time in 265/305 combo vs 255/305. To my surprise it was in stock. Price wasn't bad either at $1300 balanced/installed. The same set/size of RE11's were going for $1450 balanced/installed. I just found out how heavier the RE11's were compared to PSS. My wheels are heavy as it is and didn't want to add more weight.
