fat chance.

so the only negative your saying is its characteristics in the rain? what size were you running? another reason i'm leaning towards the PSS is because the comfort is supposed to be top notch for a performance tire...which i value because i'll be lowered on coilovers and running 19" RGRs.

decisionss..
When I was looking at tires last year the price difference was almost double between the NT05's and the PSS (in the sizes that you are getting.) I figure that I'm going to go through a set of rubber every year anyway so I typically go for more of a track oriented tire.

If I was also driving my car on the street on a regular basis the Michelin's would be a no brainer as the NT05's wear quickly, are loud and kind of suck in the rain (they are pretty much a track tire afterall.)
