I don't have issues with the PS2's or the RE71's so I don't have a need to. Too many sipes. Physics are working against you with that much probability for tread deflection.

I wasn't knocking them but you can't be serious in saying that they have more grip, are you? Harder compound and more sipes would directly contradict that statement.

Stock ZP traction sure didn't impress me.

I'd be willing to bet that actual test figures would stand to differ.

Just sayin, I did my research...find a better non run flat, ultra high performance A/S tire.

ULTIGRIP TECHNOLOGY:
High silica, cold weather flexing compound.
BOLD performance inspired directional tread design, optimizes contact for ultimate dry grip in hard cornering.
Efficiently evacuates water for better wet traction.
Improved snow retention/adherence for greater winter mobility.

g-FORCE™ TREAD:
Advanced design evenly distributes stresses across tire footprint improving long-term wear.
Performance tread profile w/optimized squared off shoulder resists irregular wear.
Large rigid wraparound outer tread blocks, high lateral void w/beveled biting edges.
Wide v-shaped angled lateral/longitudinal grooves.
Consistent tread block rigidity.

PERFORMANCE RACING CORE:
ETEC System™ Equal Tension Containment System optimizes contact patch for enhanced traction at speed.
Dynamic Suspension System, reinforced internal structure increases control while maintaining ride comfort.
g-Control™ Sidewall Inserts add sidewall stiffness to resist deflection for immediate turning response.

That's not research, that's marketing material.

Hey C7 Jake. Do you have a picture of the rim from the back to see if it sticks out of the fender at all? With that offset it should be 20 mm farther out than stock. Just curious because I am interested in these rims.
