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.
