After only a year (and unknown mileage), I can't see why the PS2s would be dead. I'd check the tread and see if running them at low pressures has caused any cupping or odd wear. If not, just pump them up and you're good to go.
I PM'd you my phone number. I'm about 10 minutes from Euro Germantown, just off 270N if you need any help.

Good seeing everyone there. Launching my car in that cold was impossible. Actually Spero got the best run out of my car at a 12.04 at just under 120 mph. That was with a 1.9 60 ft. I couldn't get under 2.0. Had the car on the dyno before the track and it laid down 484 rwhp and 545 lb/ft TQ! (4th gear). I think I see an LSD and drag radials in my future!!
I think the highlight of my day was (flame suit on) driving Alex's M5 (thanks bud!) out on the street and that nice entrance to capital raceway. Man, that car handles. It feels so much lighter than our cars. The steering feel, brakes, etc. They did a great job. Now, the looks are certainly questionable, and when I spend close to 100K on a car, I have to love the way it looks. And I love the way my car looks. And of course, the HP and TQ that my car has in addicting. But if AMG could just tweak the handling, steering a little...Now, we're talking!!

John, I agree. Although I have another car I race, I'll probably pick up some DRs to be more consistent in my car 
Fikse, no head to head runs yesterday. The conditions were so poor, Kim was worried about running cars side by side.
