Potenza Re-11 vs. Pilot Super Sport
 

I am getting the '12 Nismo wheels from a friend and cannot decide on what tire to get for the new wheels. I currently am running the PSS on the sport wheels and love them but they are expensive... So I was looking for a cheaper alternative but still maintain the grip. But I am also not against getting the PSS again, just wanted to hear what experiences everyone had with the potenzas. I was not a fan of the ones that came OEM with the car..

RE-11's are on a different level in terms of dry traction, responsiveness​, and feedback. PSS does everything else better

Pure performance go with the RE11s. Better all around tire and still perform very well get the PSS

And an almost negligible step below the PSS are the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires at about $100 cheaper for the set.

That price difference used to be quite a bit more between those two tires. Certainly makes the Pilot Super Sports more attractive than they were in the past.

Just purchased another set of PSS, just a good overall tire for me, got about 25000 on them, did autocross with them to...

Re-11s on all 4s and am in love. Grip, low noise. No regrets.

PSS are the thing of the past. Think PS4S.

:iagree:

Except that the S04 Pole Posiition is a completely different tire than the RE-11 that he is talking about.

:iagree: Could not have said it better myself. :tup:

ok so now I'm at odds..Re11's or the old PSS's??? What should I get..hmmm

Squash the debate and get the PS4S's.

LOL, RE-11 still are better choice price wise and until there is some good comparison data they are still King!

Here's the thing you are forgetting about the PSS or PS4S. They have a mileage warranty. If you have a staggered setup, it's 15k miles. Square is 30k. If you can keep the wear within 1/16th of an inch across the tire with no abnormal wear, you can pro rate the next set if you wear them out early. That cuts their price in half for the next set if you drive like me.
