but at that point it's splitting hairs. i'm also a fan of RE-11's over PSS's anymore after I realized how much stiffer the sidewall on the re-11s are.

yeah I know, I'm always splitting hair's on my hobbies lol.

but for me the pss is a better choice right now because it's my dd and more of a well rounded tire also better in rain. I live in sw fl so rain is almost an every day thing in summer.
once it's not a dd I may switch to the re-11s they look like a much better track tire

I DD on RE-11 and they are better in rain under regular driving I've found personally. and although Florida gets a good bit of rain I think last years stats PA had more lol my finace is from FL and bitches above the rain here. that's when you know it's bad.

also in these sizes 265/305 they have worn much better than 245/275 PSS which the inside 3" disintegrated on me at 12k miles.

I had about 14k on my re-11's I just took off and the rears were still above the wear bar a bit and the fronts were still at 7.5/32nds and they come new at 9/32.

ocd though and I changed all 4 for the dragon lol

ok so I've decided since I'm curious and the math seems right I'm going to try the 295/35/19.
I know there's no test I can to to confirm except my own perception an math but what the heck why not..rear tires only last a year to me anyway so I'm gonna give them a try.

exactly my thinking as well.

I drive march/april-oct weather permitting and I rip through rears so testing things out don't bother me much.

im ean on a whim with a little asking around I jumped to 265/305 on sport wheels lol
