RE: track, are you a really advanced driver? If not (hey, that's not me either), and if you don't push too hard, I think the PSS would be fine for the occassional light and easy fun day. As Kgolf says, PSS is not really designed for that, but I don't think you want to shell out $$$ for a dedicated set of wheels/tires for 2x days at the track a year.
My advice would be to get something that is prioritized along the lines of need--and given location, that's good dry performance and very good wet performance as top priorities, track needs further down the list. Whether that's PSS or Conti DW or DWS, I'd just put wet traction up pretty high on the list. Just my 2 cents obviously.
I know I sound like a cheering section for the PSS, but I really like the tire, especially in the rain. Here's another review, done by a pretty good track rat, on the PSS. Worth a look.
Thanks for the forum compliments. It's a great (and unusual) group here at Zpost. Unique in fact compared to most internet "forums". Recommend getting one of these when they come out. Quite a few forum members in the Pacific NW, and here in Norcal as well. |
Sounds like solid advice. I am definitely not an advanced driver, but would like to get better
But you are correct that my tires should be directed to my primary needs, which do not involve a track and do involve rain. PSS is sounding pretty good right now, and not too much of a premium over the DW option.
As for the sizing issue, these are Apex Arc-8 wheels (bought them used here from MakoBimmer1) and are 18x8.5-et38 and 18x10-et25.
