At the time when I was about to just get another set of PSS a few weeks ago to replace my outgoing set, they were just about an additional $100 extra over the Firehawks after shipping, mounted balanced and installed.
The thing is I bought the Firehawks local with a buy 3 get one free special and risked getting a kind of new tire with not a huge reputation the PSS has and I also saved a little cash too. A big gamble that paid off.
I wasn't crazy about getting into another set of the PSS and risked it and I'm glad did. I have to believe that once the word really gets around about them, they will start bumping the price because they are better in every
way than those PSS. The only thing I can't vouch for is the longevity but with a higher treadwear rating they should last longer I suspect. Knowing what I know now about these Firehawks, I would have paid much more for
them over the PSS. I feel like a Firestone salesman every time I talk about this but I just don't see the PSS in such a great light now that I paid less for a better tire.
$500 is a pretty nutty deal shipped for the PSS though. In 225/45/17 from Tirerack they are $620 to my location. The Firehawks are $450 from them to me though.
As I said knowing what I know now, even if those prices were switched I would still buy the Firehawks. Maybe a buy two get two free would get me back into the PSS since I know I'd burn through them so quick.
Even then I'd still be sliding around with them.
