Even Road and Track likes the Michelin PSS on track
Take a look at Road and Track's article.....

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same. Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different. I can't wait for my next Track fix.

All is well, and I'm not an advocate for goodyears but a cars suspension is tuned to the tire it will come with. (And they specifically state this in their review) In this case the PSS's are the closest to the M3 tires putting them in favor with the chassis. It would be interesting to conduct this same test utilizing the 1LE as the test car.

Michelin PSS are the best street tire period, they are much stickier than the 300 TW rating indicates. They work awesome on the track and autox, wet or dry...unfortunately I have convinced too many I race with of this fact and now it is getting damn hard to have an advantage anymore....
And as an example, one of the guys with a 2014 1LE raced against me on boths days, he ran about a 1/2 second slower than me both days. He bought Michelin PSS for the very next weekend, and he won both days by about .200 seconds. So, while anecdotal as hell, Michelin's work very well.

I cant open the thread for some reason but I cant get past the fact they used all season goodyears, that seems downright stupid to me unless they used all season pilot sports as well. Of course the summer tire wins, this article is imo useless. This is not the goodyear f1 supercar g2 tire.

Good. Nobody else believe this either so that it is easier for the rest of us to get the PSS'.
Hey D (SoCal), I saw on FB Danny Popp was testing some tires. What was his verdict? T.

I saw the same thing, I haven't heard anything from Danny, but will try to find out what he likes...as I know others who were there, just got to contact them....Danny did tell me to trade the Cobalt's out for the Hawk pads he runs, DTC30's....not sure if I like them as much as the Cobalts....

What is the difference between the PSS and PSS ZP (is ZP runflat?) Also, are there left and rigth tires like the G2s?
