There have been countless tests(assuming the fault is ME and poor size decision not the tires) that prove the PSS is the benchmark performance tire, unless Michelin is paying them all. Tread life warranty is a marketing tool, it keeps you in that brand of tires, Michelin is smart to do this, and its 30k, and they cut that in half for staggard tires, so it is really 15k ;)

LOL @ Invo's outperforming PSS's. The tire world isn't what it used to be thinking that just because the PSS's have a mileage warranty that they cant perform with the best of them? Thats just stupid logic. Michelin is the top tire manufacturer in the WORLD and has some of the most expensive tires you can buy. For the right price, you can build the best of both worlds which Michelin did. Just have to say I literally LOL'd again at the thought of Invo's outperforming PSS's.

Yeah the PSS will walk all over Invos, which are a pretty lousy performance tire by today's standards. Marginally better than the Hankook V12.

:icon18:

made that mistake on my 350z....:eekdance:

LOL. The SS was specifically designed for the 458 italia...I'd consider that a high performance car. It's the favorite tire for many R8, Mseries, corvette and 911 drivers. It's an amazing tire and can't wait to get my set mounted on the volks.

The supersports are definitely a performance tire, just not a track compound.

They're also known to have softer sidewalls. It's why they weigh less than other tires by a few lbs I think. I'm guessing it's the combination of running a bit oversized, your driving style, plus sensitivity to feeling the wobbling. Does the tire lose grip when that happens?

No does not loose grip at all, its just annoyinghaving to learn to drive the tires so to speak, I know they are not going to slide or break loose, its just an unconfortable feeling for me. I have made the decision if I can sell them local I will switch, if not, I will live with it, maybe its a blessing in disguise, it will slow me down a bit ;)

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not, but new tires almost always feel softer because you're going from no tread to full tread.

That comment about the PSS not being a true performance tire should get that member banned LOL. I have put several thousand miles on my PSS and I love them. I'm running 255/295 and have never had any issues. Having longer thread life is just a plus for me.

am i missing something here?

Tire Details - Discount Tire

they sell a 285/35/19 in the Michelin's

I just checked tire rack, they have them listed now too but do not have them...hmmm really mucked up haha. I got a standard repsonse, "The size has nothing to do with how the tire handles its all about the compound on the tire and it will make no difference if I trade sizes"...oh well.

My Hoosiers feel like crap compare to my RE11, yet it is a lot stickier. Sometimes you just have to deal with it.
