michelin PSS tires

Some people also speculate that the PSS will wear longer than the OEM RE11As or other competing tires adding to the cost benefit ratio. It's possible, but I'm skeptical that improved gas mileage and/or better wear will make up the $400-per-set price difference between the PSS and the Potenza S-04, for example.

You meant RE050A? Re11A doesn't come in 19's

I run the PSS on the stock 19" Rays as I bought the car used and thats what was on there. I had the misfortune of picking up a tapcon in the sidewall and 3 finishing nails from a neighbor's dumpster pickup within a month of buying the car. I thought I would save a few bucks and put Hankooks on all 4 paws...They sucked. You could melt rubber a 1/2 block from a dead start and they felt loose in the turns. So when they ran there coarse (bout 12 - 13k in the rears) I went back to the PSS and now have no regrets.

The PSS's have a more "bulgy" side wall and is what I like personally but is not what most of the forum members are in to. Great tire though.
