So putting yours and Chan Chee Ho's comments together the sidewall is stiffer than the PSS?

ive not experimented with the pss, so dont know. the round sidewall appearance on the pss is wat killed it for me. i like the square sidewall like the advans and re11's, s04 is also more square look than round. btw, get the 285/35/19 if going s04's. the 275/35/19's are narrower than usual for some reason.

These are for a BMW M235i x drive, so I'm only going with 225 or 235/40/18
Leaning towards the RE11 at this point

I drove my 2011 Z for 3 years with the stock RE-050's. I thought they were OK, but when I got this 2014, I immediately swapped the RE-050s for S-04s. I haven't pushed them enough to know how they are at the edge, but they do feel a little more responsive than the RE-050s, they're quieter, and they do better in heavy rain/standing water.
