Grip
Threadlife
Quiet
2 different coumpound on inside/outside of tires

It's a really advanced tire technically that changed the way my C63 and Saab handled. They are a bit soft on the sidewall so turn in response is a bit weird at first but you get used to it quite fast...

I just put PSS on my C63. Tires grip like crazy much better than the Contsport pro 5p that were on there. Ride is better as well.

Thanks guys.

Did a little research myself and your review where spot on. I'll be getting them in a month or two after I burn my Hankook tires. Hate them. Thanks again.

Ditto. My 991 Turbo S has the PSS's. A quantum leap in traction over its stock P Zeros which could not handle the power from my GIAC Stage 2 tune. But in the E63 S the P Zeros seem more adequate.

Hi. Yes I did get the PSS from tire track, but they were mounted on 20" wheels and not the OEM 19". May I recommend eBay if your having hard time finding the right sizes.

And yes. You guys where right. The PSS grips allot better and runs much quiter than the Pzeros that was on the 20" wheels. Good luck.

David,

With nearly 700 hp and some ridiculous amount of torque, tread life probably shouldnt figure in to your decision! Lol

NO TIRE WILL LAST LONG!

With that said, cant go wrong with PSS !!

Cheers.

V. I had always been a Perelli guy, but notice the stock wheels and 20" off of the E350 didn't traction that well under load and wasn't as quite as when it was on the E350. I get less burnouts and canyon driving hung like its on rails. Really happy with the PSS.

Thread life don't last long on AMGs period.

Nothing wrong with the Bridgestones pole positions either. A lot less $$$ than any of the others. I can get 13 K miles out of them which is not too bad. I can turn off traction control and nail it without them spinning so their grip is amazing for sure.

Car came with PZeros and it's the first time I've driven with these tires. Not bad! I've had 2 sets of PSS in the past though and grip is definitely better with PSS. Can't really compare noise as it was different vehicles and I'm interested in seeing how tread life with PZeros turn out.

Can I assume you wished you went with the PSS? I got mine a few months ago from Pzeors and got to say the PSS is quieter and hung better so it seems.

From all the reviews I've read the Bridgestone pole position S04's are real close to the PSS for a lot less money. The sidewalls are a little stiffer with the S04's and they are about 5 lbs more heavy. Ride comfort is a toss up, some say better with the S04's others with the PSS.

You don't think the Pzeros are loud AF? It's driving me crazy right now.

OP: I assume you were on Ventus V12 (with the mentioning of hancooks, 20's, etc.) were they quiet?

I'm thinking about swapping out these Pzeros to something quieter/longer lasting. PSS is totally out of my consideration.
