Sigh, if it winter wasn't near and I knew what wheels I'd be using next year. Looks like a great price.

I'm looking at $434 per tire for a 305/25-20

I did have these when I had my OEM wheels and really liked them.

I could not get these for over 6 months due to national backorder 275/30/19. Wound up going with RE-11's and Really like them so far, sticky as hell and stiffer in the side wall than the PSS.. I had the PSS on my stock 18's..

My PSS have held up 2 years front and rears. The rears still have meat on them.

What tire pressure you guys running?

I run between 35-38 on the street. The camber on these AMGs will eat shoulders regardless. Oh well, just money, right?

Conti dws are soft and quiet, but dry traction is much less. I wish I could get it all in one tire.
