Anyone can tell you all day long that the Michelin Primacy HP tires are < to the new PSS. Those came factory on my 07 GS350 before I got rid of it.

Well I have driven about 20miles on the Super Sports and they feel great!!!!Driving on my old Pilot Sports and was able to squeeze out 32K miles and still had some life left on them, but they really needed to be replaced.
After replacing the Pilot sports with the Super Sports, what a world of difference. The ride is now softer and more nimble handling from the front end. The extra fresh new rubber contributed to this. The tire balancing helped smooth out the ride and the low rolling resistance of these tires are incredible, it feels like they roll effortlessly....should help with increasing the gas mileage. So far as tire grip..it's all there, takes more effort to break lose..lovin that feature.
The tires are rated to goto 30K, iam sure I'll reach that and possibly a few more miles. Michelin tires are worth their weight in gold.....worth the purchase

If you're not planning to plus size and you're happy with the factory PS2...the PSS is a no brainer. The only big difference is the appearace of the tire. The sidewalls of these tires does not kick out as much so rim protection is reduced for your factory rims. Performance wise...its better because its quieter...and so far so good they are gripping well on hard turns.

I punctured one of my tires on day 2. I had to patch it at the nearest Tire Kingdom to get home.
Do you all think I should just go and buy a new tire and try to sell the patched one cheap to someone who doesn't care?

I'll just call my sales guy at the dealership and tell him to tell me how to do it.

If you track it, it might put too much stress on the plug and cause it to leak. I have no idea as I don't track my F.
I can't wait to replace my rears with the Pilot Super Sports.
