I've run my PSS over 190 with no balance problems using normal road force balancing machine, $50 for all 4.

Jesus! Why is california bay area so inflated. Jist regular mount balance with stems on a ground force was like 160 or 200 I forget. And if I want force matched. To rim it's around 350 total. Raped. Fn raped. Probably not going with the additional force match to rim option. Unless I feel any vibration.

I don't know for a fact but perhaps the super sale on the PSS is because M is coming out with 275/325 PS4S tires which are supposed to be even better for the street than the PSS, but M says they are not as good for road course work. If you only do street driving or do track work with an alternative set of wheels tires, factor that into a future tire decision. The PS4S are not currently listed for sale in the 275/325 Z06 sizes.

I found the Michelin PSS to have very little traction even at stock power. This was at stock 275 and 325 size. I doubt 345 is any different. I swapped to hankook RS4 285 up front and Kuhmo V720 ACR 355 rear and it was a major improvement.
MPSS are garbage. Tried them on both the Z and my Evo. For putting around town they are great however. They don't wear quickly and are fairly quiet.

I've been on the hunt for the stock sizes for a few weeks now. I think that well has dried up for the MPSS'. I ordered from Tire Rack yesterday the MPSS in non stock sizes 275/30R19's and 325/25R20's. I will be heading to Ely, NV in Sept. to see how good they are.

I have over 700 miles at 150+ at the Silver State, almost all on my 18/19 PSS. The first set went 196.5 at Mojave.
I'll be there in September, perhaps we will meet. I am usually #470

The tread width on those PSS are a little narrower in the front and a little wider in the back than the 285/335 ZPs.

Mine is JSB and now has an LG WC vented hood on it. See you there, Mike.

Another vote for PSS as the best all around street tire for stock sizes.

MPSS is probably the best all around, but I'm still very happy with my 345/285 Nitto Invo's! Traction ain't half-bad and you can't beat how quiet, comfortable and smooth they are. Also, never heard of a single wobble or other quality issue from them.
