Sorry for the thousand questions, just fired up to give my FRS some love...

I tried them because everything online, and I mean everything, says they are just as good as the PSS for much less. I kept on reading people say the feedback was better from the Michelins but nothing negative on them at all. No track days, I only got them on a couple weeks ago. I went through the PSS a little over 8k miles. The PSS were on the car when I bought it so it could have been as much as (4k on odometer) more miles but they looked they were freshly installed when I got it. I made sure to push these Firestones in the rain and I feel very confident in them. I know that PSS is the golden standard for best daily/light track tire but I think these are just as good for that application. I know that I could swing the back of the car with ease driving on the PSS throughout the life of the tire and it takes much more coaxing to get these Firestones to do the same. I know I trust it just as much if not more than the Michelin. Go read up on the Firehawk Indy 500 and you'll see that everybody is satisfied with them. Make sure you aren't looking at the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 "Wide Oval" which is a discontinued tire. These new ones are basically the Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 re-branded to Firestone. Those also have all great reviews but weren't available in the U.S..
