MY deal for the PSS's fell thru and I ended up with Hankook Ventus V12's which are a good second choice.

Too much toe. Your tires are probably feathered.

what is it with u guys and polished toes? do u think those fred flinstone's belong to a woman?

Captainstevo · 11-13-2012, 05:17 AM

Thanks for the pics, guru! Nice door handles as well. I'm going to be painting mine this winter.

And yea.....those feet do not belong to a female...at least I hope.

Which michelin super sports....the all season with 540 treadwear rating or the softer ones? I have on more set of rears to go through before I have to fork over the cash for all 4. Also guys tire rack saves you a lot of $bread$ when it comes to tires.

Captainstevo · 11-12-2012, 05:00 AM

I will try and post pics soon! They set me back $1450, installed included. The price of the tires were $1350 I believe. I could've gotten them a little cheaper off of Tire Crawler, but I'm good friends with a guy at a local shop, so I wanted to support them.

32k on stockers? Wow!!! I will definitely need new tires in the spring, dreading it. But feedback like this always helps. Thanks!

These have 300 tread wear right?

I've always wondered about tread wear. I always assumed a lower number would equal better traction no? I should probably read up on this more.

At 15k my rears (base advan sports) are basically gone. I am looking for new tires and passed these over because I can't see them gripping nearly as well as stock (given treadwear).

I am looking at these:
Ratings, reviews and specifications for Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 tires

Would these perform much better than PSS?

guru · 11-13-2012, 04:23 PM

I have driven a sport with stock tires and they are no way near as good as the pss's. I am also getting the ad08's next but i'm ok with only getting 10000 miles on a set of tires

I just got my PSS about a week ago after much research. So far I really like them on my '09 370Z but honestly don't see that much difference from the Potenzas that were on them from the factory. They seem a little softer which provides a more comfy ride but seem a little cushy especially taking a turn at higher than posted speed limits. As far as road noise is concerned, a little better than the Potenzas but not much. Lets face it, riding in the driver's or passenger's seat of the Z is really like riding in the trunk so road noise is pretty much guaranteed. I'll see how the PSS do over time. Overall, I'm not disappointed I bought them.

Comparison Potenza to PSS for Sport Rims. I tend to over analyze. Have run PSS for over a year- great tire

More Cost info- about a year old
