I dont think anyone is really looking for 20" cv7's though lol

I'm sure someone is just gotta find them lol

OK, got the PPS 4S on the car, looks great and they feel sticky... everyone was asking me to come back and tell them how they felt/worked... Pulling out over a painted area, squeaky noise.

Funny to see a bunch of tech's excited

Did the techs butcher your wheels or was the damage there from before?

no, I watched, will check again, I think that is just some of the slippery stuff...
guess I need to go back and check....

well the place I ordered my tires from called... said they werent gonna get em for another week. I started showing wires cause I'm an idiot that does burnouts on low tires thinking id have new ones on saturday.

Good news, they gave me PSS at a severely discounted price (267.xx a tire). So another year of PSS I guess. Bitter sweet I guess.

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.

That's never happened to me before

On topic, I'm excited to try these out. These Michelin All Seasons are kinda nice - I've never driven the Z with All Seasons before - but they suck when they get hot. Need proper performance tires again.

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

Jayhovah · 04-10-2017, 09:57 AM

I'll probably be in the market for new tires towards the end of the summer... how is the road noise with these things?

I know its a lame question, but my Z is my DD so I like to consider everything....

I wish I could be more helpful but I have never run PSS so can't offer first hand comparison feedback.

There was another question regarding road noise. There is essentially none. I do have some sound matting in my doors and rear tub but get no tire road noise from inside or outside with window down.

Road Noise also must depends on the Road's surface,Our Cars,are not really quiet in this aspect,somemore with wide low profile tyres.

How's it grip from a launch? Wheels hold in 2nd? 1st?
For me, the PSS spun through first and some of second in a straight line.

I'm not exactly drag racing this thing but grip is there, for sure. I ain't never going back.

Hmmm..well I just got some of the PSS's.. so far really liking them..feel really planted to the road and good in corners. To me wasn't worth shelling out more $$$ for the the 4s. However would be good to know how they compare to other tires, especially the PSS.
