The feel of the PS4S was astoundingly different. I had RE050's on my Z's and the last set I switched to R11's, same difference in feel. Those RE050's have a very stiff sidewall, you feel everything, but after 14 years with them I was very used to feeling every pebble. I do like that my V has much less rattles now though! And those old tires were hard, but if you like throwing the rear around with ease you can't beat an old hard set of RE050's, especially in the cold

Oops - denominator
I think I was one of the first to comment on older tires regarding Tarheels’ new Aston. I feel like I owe an apology for inadvertently hijacking his thread...
i do believe that tires are the least common demoninator wth respect to performance, safety, and overall driveability. I’m no slouch when it comes to driving, but at 60, with reduced reflexes, and not wanting to go to jail in a state that outlaws radar detectors, I drive my V8V fairly conservatively. I was really uncomfortable with the feel of the original tires on my car. They were “original” for sure, being approximately 10 years old on a low mileage car. First “upgrade” was a set of new Michelins, and I was astounded at the difference. Best ~$1100 I have spent on the car to date.

Considering an annual oil and brake fluid change costs more than that at the dealer; tires are cheap!
