^ this is pretty compelling. Now I am chomping at the bit to get new tires too (if anything, just to get the stock conti's OFF the car). The current rebate on the PSS makes them a pretty good deal right now.

He said it's to do with the corners between the grooves being 90 degree cuts instead of rounded off. Lots of high speed turning causes too much stress and they give in that area. He recommended Bridgestone RE-11 tires. You can actually see the rounding of the edge. Never noticed it before.

^ The Pilot Sport PS2's versus the PSS.... the PS2s are a little pricier but dont seem to be as well rated as the PSS. Does this have anything to do with it? I've never heard of anyone else complaign about PSS's. Ever.
Right now for stock sizes and after rebate were looking at:
$934 for a set of PSS's
$988 for a set of PS2's
- or-
$562 for a set of V12's
