I do that all the time. It is a curse.
In the Firearm / Scope world it is called 'Buy once, Cry Once', but those things practically last forever...
..when it comes to a consumable product we always try and get the best bang for our buck.

Hope more are running these in the southern climes and more reviews should pop up.

They do stick much better from a dig than the stock run flats do for sure.

I have a gun obsession. Mostly handguns, but I buy everything. With those, even the bad ones I shouldn't have bought p, Imwas still glad I bought them haha. I guess with these, if they don't pan out I'll know better and may be able to sell them to someone with a like tire size.

Given the huge price gap I would try these out over the PSS. I had the pss on my g8 and they were amazing though. Also something to consider the super sports have been superceded by the supposedly even better ps4s.

The firehawk Indy 500 doesn't go that large. 285 is the largest.

I've seen those, the tread rating is much less though. The contential extremecontact sport is the in-between for these two tires. After what I'm putting in the engine, I want as much traction as a street tire can offer haha

Are you thinking of the cups? The PS4s are 300 treadwear and have a warranty.

I must have been. I looked them up on tire rack and thought they had a 260 treadwear.

Like if you intentionally kick out the rear, you're never going to lose it. I would drive with MRC on track mode on some farm roads with them, going way too fast of course, and they would never even squeal at all around corners. Same on tight off-ramps at 1g. They will kick up little stones off the road though, a lot more than the stock tires.

They're just not cutting it for me now though. The only step up are the Sport Cup 2's but they're not going to last you nearly as long. I'm going to switch to Sport Cup 2's once Mickey Thompson drag radials wear down in the fall. Good luck with them!
How did you like the Mickey's and I'm comparing to the F1's? Looking to increase HP soon with a Whipple which looks to be really TQy.

Tread wear rating is only comparable between models from a single brand!
