Ive been rolling on the new Continental Extremecontact Sports (285 square) and the improvement over stock is dramatic. For $244 each, that's a hard value to beat. Turn in, ride quality, noise, and overall grip are improved. I did have to bump the tire pressure up a few psi though.

So I got my PSS for roughly that price. If you're looking to upgrade but dont wanna spend a lot check out discount wheel warehouse. IDK your tire size but just guessing 285/35/19 they go for $272.18

Just bought a full set of PS4S's 265/35/19 & 305/30/19! I miss the cornering ability of the RE-11's, but everything else on the PS4S is amazing!

Well if they don't corner as well, something our Z are renowned for, then there is a bit of an issue with the PS4S. Great tires are supposed to enhance the existing superlative abilities of the car, not hinder it.

The RE-11's have a stiffer side wall. I don't think it's a setup issue with the PS4S as much as the RE-11's just handle cornering better.

Tire Review

I have had the PS4S on my 370z for about a thousand miles and can tell you they are better in the wet, better in the cold, better all around.

Never thought it was possible, but worth every penny.

Putting in an order through Costco this week for my set. Posts here are convincing, since I just want an improvement over the PS4S. My balding PSS's barely grip more than A/S tires now...
Roads here are rough and I do enough country driving to rule out the 200 TW tires that are louder and stiffer.

Anyone have issues with Costco messing up their wheels during install btw?, still debating on letting them install or an independent shop.
