I'm really liking the RE-11's but I put them on before the PSS's came out or I would have gone with those. I'll see if I can get close to the 40k miles I got out of the PS2's with them.

if you get 20k that would be amazing, pss you might get 30 out of with tame toe settings and under a degree of neg camber

Everyone said PS2's can only go 10k-15k miles before they're worn out and that was way off so I have no doubt about getting >20k miles on them. There's mostly straight highways around here so why would I run much camber?

I went with the Hankook V12 tires
Finally got all 4 on and an alignment done
Just put a few miles on it.. They are really sticky !!
No more part throttle tire spin like the Michelins did.
Highway noise is acceptable .. I don't really notice any difference between
the Hankooks and Mich Run Flats in noise

When I bought the car 3 yrs ago it had Firestone Firehawks R/Fs which I thought were noisy.

Last year I replaced them with Mich PSS non-runflats on C6 rims. A decision I regret making. Extremely noisy on mature pavement and but quiet on new. The Firehawks were much quieter. But I do enjoy the action of the PSS on corners, they stick much better.

My brother-in-law over from England saw the PSSs before I had them mounted and he said they would be noisy but then what would a Brit vintage car guy know ? He was sooo right. I haven't told him so yet !!
