I love them. They grip well in dry and wet conditions and are even a few lbs lighter than other tires. The only downside is that they wear out pretty fast during hard driving.

in my area my weeks are 7 days long, not 10 days.

Went with s-04! Thought long and hard about this. I was amazingly impressed with the feel and feedback of the s-04 on my g35. When I bought them before I spent around 1100. Cheaper this time. Just got them and will get them installed when it's not -40 below windchill here in iowa.

Good choice, I had s-04 before I went PSS, I liked them, but was convinced the PSS were better from all the reviews etc, I found I am one of the rare people or only one in fact that did not like the PSS, their physical grip was indeed good, but the sidewalls are soft and sloppy, which gives them a good ride, but if you corner hard, they are sloppy IMO, I burned through the rears in 7k, didn't even get a pro rate for them(and we are a MIC tire dealer at work) and never looked back, I am throwing away the fronts once the car comes out of storage, biggest waste of 1200 bucks in my entire life.

I had pss on my old g35 for a few weeks before buying new rays. That's when I first bought the s-04. I thought they handled excellent and feedback and direction was good.
