Tire rack rates Michelin SS top again
And by a significant margin over the Bridgestone.
Yokohama does slightly better on the track but not on the road. |

saw the email. PSS will probably stay at the top for a while.

Well, it's a great tire. Best all-around summer tire I've owned.

I've been running 225/45/17 Michelin PSS on a 17x8 rim, and don't have too much regrets considering how well the PSS drives in the rain and in the dry since I have a long commute too. I also autocross on the tires. I'll probably be switching to the new ZIIs, RE-11A, or Rivals next year though.

I'm running Direzza ZIIs 255/35/18 ... Car is completely planted with a ton of grip. I'm more than happy with the choice even in the rain, but haven't driven on Michelin PSSs ...

Everyone knows that, but did you know that Ole McDonald was a horrible speller?
