There must be something wrong with me...No digging the Pilot super sports...

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.

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.

just heard from tire rack, they are willing to swap them, I have to front the bill for the new ones up front, then they will reimburse me.

Wow, that's awesome!

Tire rack honored that, Michelin would not, stating the size did not affect the the sidewall rigidity, only the tire compound. New ones should be here tomorrow, I wantto get them on and the old ones back asap to get my $1200 credit, my CC company is in love with me right now haha.

Ok the verdict is in, I got the stock sized pss on, and yes, the size was 90% of the problem. The steering response still is crap on these tires...I honest cannot understand how people on these forums bashed the stock tires so much, they had better steering response and stiffer sidewalls, and the re50a is not regarded by the people as a good tire...and mine were dry rotting away, that's why I changed them! ANYWAY, I am much happier now, the car does no roll like a boat at sea in corners now, and is acceptable. Will I ever buy pss again, not at this price point, IMO they perform in the 700-800 dollar range, the KDWs on my 350 are similar to these in handling and grip, makes me wonder about the new BFG, might have saved 400 bucks...if I changed these out again, I would do this, 255/35/19 F and 285/30/19 R, this will go a tad wider but keep the sides short, yet shorter than stock, but it should help with steering response. Michelin has everyone brain washed, sorry guys, I agree 100% with HonestyPittsburgh/Western PA/Ohio/WV Group, and I am running these at 40 PSI now, I want to back them off to 38 and see if that is ok. Keep in mine I still have to break these in, ram around for about 50 miles after work tonight they are still a tad slippy

how many miles have you put on them? did you let them break in atleast a little?
