I just never felt that with the PSS on the XKR and was running the same sizes but 295 in the rear. These P-Zeros hydroplane all over the place even in light rain, and they break lose like a switch, if you have DSC off. They are not horrible but not at the level of Pilot Super Sports.

I was pulling over 1G in corners with the XKR and this car has much better turn in bite and corner balance but the tires just fall off a cliff around 1G depending on the surface.

I think I'm definitely switching to the PSS next week when I take it in for for its 1k oil change and checkup.

My OEM Pzeros:

Rear:
10,200 miles, changed to the Pilot Super Sport prior to a 4K+ road trip, but I could have gotten another 1000 or 2000 miles, probably.

Front:
17,200 miles, just changed this morning.

7000 miles into the Pilot Super Sport, on the rear.... they look fantastic. Definitely going to get at least 14K+, I assume.

My new PSS on the front are SO GRIPPY I LOVE IT.

No problems during the 5k miles when you had PSS in the rear and PZeros in the front?

If you're just getting rid of your PZeros, I'll take them

None. I am fairly confident there was a degree of understeer, but no real problems. I had just crossed them, but now I realize when I rotate next I can put my brand new front PSS on the rear. That will be lovely. Woot.

I have to imagine Maxima forgot a number when saying they were going for a 1000 mile oil change?

You're running the same size, front and rear?

I wouldn't recommend rotating them then.
