I've already said it in here but will repeat that if the Indy 500s cost more than the MPSS, I'd still buy them and MPSS are way overpriced because of their reputation.
Leonardo said he went through 5 sets of them. That leads me to the main negative of the MPSS. I barely put 8k on mine before they were fully dead and the previous owner may have had them
for a little more but they wear way too fast. The Indy 500s have 4k on them and look like they are still new. Second negative was sliding around and even losing control
and spinning on the MPSS making a u-turn made me scratch me head wondering how those tires get such a good rep. Only positive was people seen they were on the car and said "good choice of tire".
At almost double the price of the Indy 500, I just laugh that anybody would have spent that on the outgoing Super Sports and especially now that the Pilot Sport 4s is indeed more than double of the Indy 500s.

To Leonardo, since you're going through so many tires and/or not happy with what your on, maybe give the Firestones a try next time and see what happens.

Interesting. I Really HATE the soft sidewall of the Hankook V12's. I am going to change them. Thanks for the input.
