That sound reasonable for DFW area?

Yah, that's a normal price I thinks.

I paid 1200 first time around. 2nd time I took advantage of tirerack's sale and $50 gift card and came out 850ish for 255/285 config for my G35C.

Wet performance is great. 65mph in a 1/4" of rain was not in the least bit questionable. That measurement of rain may be worth a grain of salt...But the road was covered enough to where Im positive the stock RE50s would've been sketchy above 40mph.

I've had mine for almost a year now - I love 'em, they're way better than the OEMs (especially in the rain)!

I just installed a set of 4 today. What PSI is everyone running for even wear on the so-4? I know Nissan recommends 35 psi but from my experience running around 32psi for softer than OEM tires tend to prevent premature mid-section tire wear.
FYI I am aware of normal inner tire camber wear

I've kept mine 33-35 and have even wear. Its more about getting the alignment spot on to keep that uneven wear down. I've got about 22k on the rears are at 3/32". I got about 17-18k on the oem RE050s.

Just when I convinced myself to go for the Michelin PSS. Now you have me thinking about the Potenza S04s.

My cold pressures are 33-34 rear and 38 front with my s04.
