You have a great setup going, wish I could go for a ride along when you get it all done.

There's a Tanabe STB in your future. :happy0180:

Those suckers way 26lbs in the 17inch sizes!!.....Yikes.

ABQautoxer · 01-11-2013, 10:44 AM

Some of them are actually lighter than the last version by 1-2lbs. Those aren't that heavy considering the construction and tread depth when you compare to say an RS3.

ironchef · 01-11-2013, 11:12 AM

Wowsa. They're about 8 lbs per corner heavier than my MPSS in the same size (225/45/18).

This is the review that led me to get the PSS over the z1, why do so many of you guys prefer the z1's over the PSS's?

Honest question, I am just learning all this. Is it just the price difference or more to it?

Hanakuso · 01-11-2013, 12:45 PM

If I could just wait 1-2 months more I'd rather get the RE11A

Cost in some sizes and you can't flip the PSS so if you have a camber limited vehicle you'll get a lot less life. Other than those reasons I like the tires from the limited number of runs I've taken on them.

My Z2's were shipped today from tire rack, and they won't mount 235's on 7" Enkei's.

Kido1986 · 01-11-2013, 04:29 PM

Oh really? I considered ordering that setup, 235s on 7" RPF1s

ABQautoxer · 01-11-2013, 05:48 PM

I'm surprised. The Z1 245/40/17s fit on the 17x7. Now I'm worried about the 255s we ordered for our 17x8 WRX.

fredk · 01-11-2013, 06:30 PM

I e-mailed Luke at Tire Rack...he got right back to me and said they would do it. It was an issue with someone that may have not known their policy about Competition tires. Hopefully he'll pass the word. We did call the rep and plead with him and he said "no". Hopefully they did not ship my stuff unmounted....

I run 295's on 9" rims on the front of my Cobra.
