7/12 dumped original tires 8500mi. 345/30/19 psc rear 285/35/18 pss fr. I really hope there is a better street tire out there because traction still sucks. I still want a tire that is speed rated high. No complaints about fronts. 1/2 mi. in june has me looking at least for better rears.

I Know what summer tire means. I was referring to my warm weather experiences. But if everyone thinks psc tires are the best gripping/high speed tire theres something wrong with mine.

You need the DOT code per the link: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=11
If the 3610 is your last 4-digits of the DOT code then the tire was made in the 36th week of 2010 and are less than three years old so the grip should be reasonable for that tire.
Older tires will "age" in storage and lose grip depending on the quality of the storage. With a Mustang dyno # in the 520 range, the dynojet range would be 550-560. Most other forum members have been OK with the PSC's warm with that level of rwhp.

If the 3610 is your last 4-digits of the DOT code then the tire was made in the 6th week of 2010 and are less than three years old so the grip should be reasonable for that tire.

If you have ever lost a tire at speed on the track, there is considerably less soil in your Fruit-of-the looms if you are running ZP tires - thus imho Pilot Sport Cup ZP's trump the Super Sports
On the street those same Pilot ZP's can save you from a long walk or expensive tow (if they can even get the car onto the rollback without scraping it along the ground with an airless tire)

I'm in the camp that if you want the best of both worlds, buy an extra set of wheels and use the tire that is best suited for the application(street or track).
