New shoes!
Same here...however prices are climbing on them.
I live in California....it's all about getting bent over!!! I priced out the PSS and everyone was high. As soon as you tell them which car they are for..up goes the price. The cheap places don't have the equipment to change tires for my car....nor do I trust them. Sucks.
What sizes are you running? I have 305-30-19 in rears 235-35-19 up front. I??
Got the Hankook's on yesterday and very pleased at this point. Of course being new they are an improvement over the rock hard PSS just taken off. I new they were hard and rough, but when you put the new shoes on you really can tell the difference. Much quieter right now and the handling is great. Took a couple of quick turns and high speed runs and I'm pleased.
Let's see how the tire wear goes!!

One other note..I tried Nitrogen this time instead of air. I think that will give me more stable air and with the temperature changes we get out here in Norcal I won't have to worry about the changing pressure as much. I was constantly adding or removing air from my old set just because of these changes. If I didn't have TPMS I probably would not be checking them as much, but it's a good thing to do!
RaidersR1: Couple questions -- did you get any push back on replacing only the rears, and different tires? Also, did you consider replacing the TPMS units due to age? (Mine is a '07 C2S also in need of rears tires only). - Steve
These Hankook's are nice and so far very nice.
Sven - I think it's pretty common practice to do 2 sets of rears to 1 set of fronts on the RWD cars, but I imagine the AWD cars are more sensitive to tire diameter differences... since you have a C2S I don't think you'll have a problem if your fronts still have good tread left.
I thought about the sensors too... I noticed that my left rear tire often shows much lower than the others for a few miles. I have no idea if that's a sign of the sensor wearing out or not. I didn't change them yet.

Your right rye. My front tires were more worn than the rears, but not knowing when the tires were installed and they are rock hard and no grip, I opted for all 4. I'm sure my fronts will get more wear than the RWD models.
I hope the sensors don't go out until these tires wear down.

Well...put some miles on the new Hankooks. Did a couple spirited corners....I will have to say....not as grippy as the PS2's. Maybe I need a few more miles to break them in. The ride is nice and very quiet!! There is always a trade off....grip or comfort.
Anyone else running V12 Evos??

I was about to pull the trigger when the MSS were $1,200 and waited too long - they did have a pretty good price hike that caught me. I remember seeing a thread where the guys at Tire Rack were intoning that this might be about to happen.
I still love the tire, however and am glad I got them. Good all-around performance and very smooth and quiet compared to the P-Zeros I had.
