RE11s or PSSs for my type of driving?

geddy lee · 08-14-2012, 11:53 AM

I have a 2009 with SP ( 19' Rays ) completely stock. I am going to purchase either the RE11s or PSSs within the next couple of weeks largely based on replys I may get here.

- I never track the car

- I really enjoy taking the long way home and hitting the back roads ( twisties ) so dry traction is important

- Its my DD so wet traction is also important

- Tire wear is not that important as both are extreme performance summer tires and I would not expect a lot of mileage with either one.

- I would like them to be quieter than the stock RE050As if possible

- Cost is not really an issue

- I will probably go with stock sizes 245/40 and 275/35

I was also wondering whether anyone here has tried both of these tires on a 370Z?

Thanks

Honestly based off what you're saying I would go with the re11's. Always been a fan of those. I'm on my second 370z and this one has the Yokohama's. Those aren't bad either. They have several different kinds as well. See about looking into those also.

If cost is no concern and you don't care about treadlife, then go with a grippier tire. Why would you settle for less unless you want to save money?
