Thanks, I have never had a problem with them on a dive ever... bull sharks are the only thing that has ever taken a more then comfortable interest in me.

I dove in Cancun last week my strobe flooded and I tried to compensate by adjusting the white balance and turning up the flash on the camera so most of my pictures washed out.

However I did shoot some pretty decent video.

Scorpion fish fighting/mating



Lion Fish have invaded Cancun, sad soon there will be no inverts and small fish and the reef will collapse.



Turtle swimming, 5 years ago I saw so many turtles I wished I would never see one again. I only saw one this year be careful what you wish for. The locals told me people were taking the turtles and the turtles stopped coming.




Spotted Moray Eel

Handling is very percise, google map I-10 & 16th street Phoenix AZ there are two nice curves forming a S. These feel comfortable at 110 mph +

There is zero road noice windows up. Almost zero windows down.

They transmit alot of feedback through the steering wheel, if the pavement is rough or damaged your hands will feel it.

When my OEM's wear out, PSS's are the ones I will get. Good luck with them.

I as well got these tires two months ago and are great. No soft spots like the Dunlops. Alot less road noise. Great grip! I wont buy another tire if its not PSS. Maybe i should work for Michelin.

I am running PSS as well. Great tires. Thank goodness I took the road hazard coverage from Discounttire.

I hit an object on the road last night. Looked like about the size of an apple. Made a loud bang off the right front. This morning the tire was flat. Big gash on the inner sidewall. Got it stopped up with a string plug temporarily. 5 Minutes on the phone with Discount and a new one is on its way, no questions asked.

These tires are amazing. I've had them on my car for the last seven months, and they probably are the best overall tire I have ever driven on. In the wet, they are unmatched and vastly superior to the Dunlops.
