Put PSS tires on my 2015 flying spur

I always liked PSS tires on my BMWs, so put 285/35/21 PSS tires on the flying spur, it had OEM P zero 275/35/21 on for first 1050 miles, PSS tires ride a bit soft, but has more noise than they are on BMWs, and more noise than the OEM P zero, maybe because the wider 285 vs. 275?

anyone put PSS tires on Bentley? thanks.

Thanks, my BMW B7 uses 255 width PSS on fronts, 285 on rears, noticeable quieter.

So you have over 1k miles on the PSS? I felt the Michelin PSS were quieter than the P Zero on the GTC. I'd just turn the radio up a bit louder

No, just installed PSS yesterday, had about 1k miles on P zero, I will wait a few weeks to see, PSS needs 500 miles to break-in.

Ahhh ok. Yes you need about 500 miles for the tires to 'wear in'. You're going to love the increased grip and better turning ability without that Pirelli jump 'n' skip.

I have the PSS on my gt. I find them a little noisy but I always have music on loud anyway so doesn't really bother me. Everyone says they are the best tires.

PPS are the best, should be OEM tires on our cars, only a bit more noise than P Zero, and I need to sell those used P zero tires for space in the garage, any idea how much are they worth?

Depends on tread. If like new, figure half retail.

Have PSS for 400 miles now, sidewall are softer than P Zero, so ride is better, but steering feel is lighter too, noise is about the same as day 1.

I went with the PS A/S3 and like them much better than the OEM tires for ride ,wear and noise. It does not hurt that I can drive now in the winter and not have a fear of going off road with rubber that is to hard to grip. I don't do snow or ice but it is nice to be able to ride with confidence when it is in the thirties.

Excellent point Dr. D (as always) as had to drive the B in 30F weather yesterday to the enclosed car hauler company and for the first 5 miles I could tell the tires were not 'happy'. PSS are ok for 45F on up IMHO, at 65F they are quite good and at 85F you have grip of the Gods that make the stock Pirellis seem like 15 year old design/compound

It broke my heart to give up that speed rated over 200mph and only be allowed the 186mph. Honestly i'd drive more in the winter if it were not for the salt.

What kind of tire milage life do you expect out of the PSS? Grip of the Gods costs something.

I always like AS3, but they don't have 21" size, milage life of PSS should be better or the same compare to P zero.
