I just put these on going with a 285/35/20 running 34PSI and my car is sticking like glue. I was always happy at how my car would snap my passengers neck, but this is freaking nuts. Best thing is she is not spinning tires now and we all know, IF YOU ARE SPINNING YOU ARE NOT WINNING

Yeah they are cool. 5500 miles and 105 auto x laps and only 1.5/32nds of rubber worn off. More this weekend though..lol

I put on a set of PSS a few weeks ago and this past Sunday was my 1st autoX on them. I cant say it was only the tires, but with the combination of installing camber plates and 285s up front, I now have a car that snaps around the cones now. Only downside is now I have a sorta "snap oversteer" condition that I am adjusting with rear sway bar settings. I just had a new perfomance alighnment done a few weeks ago but thinking of adding a wee bit more negative camber in the rear. The course at Dothan is on concrete and has excellant grip. Too much at times as my rear end will swap directions in a hurry if you thrash it around too hard.

If you dont have craddle bushings the IRS will do that. Mine only does it now if I dialed in to much rear shock rebound

I have purchased the cradle bushings but haven't gotten them installed yet. I guess I will do it next. I like to install one thing at a time usually so I can see how each new part effects handling. How much "rear camber" do you run in autoX?

I hear you on installing one thing at a time. The bushing incerts really helped keeping the rear in place. If you have the full bushings they will be better. For camber I do -1.6 front and -.8 rear as its my dd.

Just wish they had my size. Tried everything I could think of to find a set but even Michelin told me that they had none and no plans on making my size anytime soon. I did however get my BFG Rivals put on today and they are a very meaty looking 315/35/20.

** sorry for the upside down photo but it won't let me fix it.

one of my friends runs 295s, ferrari spec Michelins. They are about as wide as a 315 or more

The tires are so grippy that they'll hold your car to the ceiling!

SS PANTHER · 03-11-2015, 02:00 AM

One of the best mods I did was getting the 285-35-20 PSS's. No more squealing in the corners and much better handling. Thanks to VR Baron for the tip.

I know and I tried to get the K2 PSS but no can do. They are just out of stock on the ZL1 size tires. All they guys I know running them are very happy but it doesn't mean squat when you can't get them. Had to doma tire change and couldn't wait so Rivals it is for me.

Maybe next year if they have stock by then.,

Probably alot of the good sizes are on back order as people come out of hibernation and start getting ready for events this summer
