Back when I only had Meisterschaft axelback it was fun! Im the grey Nismo in that pic LOL

I just AutoX a few weeks ago in the rain and I had trouble finding the limit because there was just so much grip I did not know when it would end. LOL S04 FTW

You can buy a spare rear set for the track with the money you save buying the Bridgestone S04 Pole Position Potenza over the Michilen PSS! What a long *** name LOL S04 FTW!

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.
