Does anyone know the difference between PS2 N3 and 4N ?

i asked and was told that the increase in number has to do with a further iteration of the tire mfg date. so i would also like to find out what that means. my last ps2's were N4 !? odd.

congrats on your NEW tires lol

That's great. Although my car takes 315/30/18. I just put some R888s on so not in the market at the moment but will re-look into these in a few months... weeks lol.

rears!?! if so? thx rob. will be calling today.

mine have worn strangely differently. i have tread outside and inside galore but the center has worn nearly out. but i believe i was overinflated which would account for this issue. i'm also at 4/5k miles on 'em which for me is all i'd ever get from ps2's anyway so it's academic. though i'm now running 34/36/-37 rear. by the time i saw the unusual wear it was too late to ascertain whether my initial scrub in 40 psi was in fact the issue. while ps2's i always began with a 36/40 and dialed out a little rear psi after scrubbing. i'll watch the next rears more carefully. thx for the headsup. need new summer rears!


< damn son, you killed it. early bird catching some once italian, now chinese p zeros good lookin out! > thx

glad to see we're getting a bit of a break on pricing!
Mine are wearing excellent, mild camber taper but about as good as it gets...monoball is a tire saver....IIRC my cold pressure(street) is at 33/38psi.

maybe if we all keep sales volume up, the prices will stay a budget-friendly rate

Ya 37-39lb cold rear seems to be a sweet spot for me currently, nice consistent/gentle camber taper wear while properly utilizing the full tire on hard cornering
The 2am posts are always good lol

When I first stuck my R888s on I ran around 30 ~ 32 PSI from habit (Mustang world). Car shimmy's side to side real bad in corners or even aggressive lane changes under power.
Looked at sticker and saw factory spec is 44 PSI in rear and 36 in front. Aired up tires per spec and no different really. Scary as hell in fast corners. Did a little searching on this side and see others complaining of the same issue on R888s. Guess I need to tear them up and replace with something else
