Default Michelin PSS

Get them...

I was about to dump my car last month...took a lot of mental effort to keep it straight and then I realized that I had 10000 miles on the pirellis with 3 tracks days.

I decided I would go a different route and try the PSS. Man have they completely changed the car. So much now that Im not even considering AWD. They grip better and as result I can accelerate out of a turn quicker and the PSS will handle it. These tires make me have more confidence in the car and as a result I go faster. First test will be in 2 moths at Sebring. I will get to compare fresh pirelli vs fresh PSS on same track same time of year.

After a year and 16k miles, my PSSs have lost none of their traction (and just over half their tread). They are indeed great tires.

Agreed. I changed from OEM P-Zero tires to PSS and the difference is night and day!

I can hardly wait for my P-zeros to wear out..... I don't think it's any mystery why the P7 didn't come with them!

Cheers,
Dave

I'm a fan of the PSS as a summer performance tire. Had them on the last 4 or 5 cars. Swapped the stock PZero for a set of Michelin PSS shortly after purchasing my F-type.

Tip: For track use, they will get greasy on a hot day (90+ degrees) so be ready for that in Florida Watch your tire pressures too. I ran something like 32PSI (cold) on my last track day and that worked well.
