That is a hard question to answer. My PS2's were the 18"s thus 40 series , the other 2 were the 19's 35 and 30 series, and the PZero's needed 40PSI COLD to not roll-over during hard cornering, while the RE-11's are quite comfortable at 35PSI with no rolling over.

Obviously the RE-11's are the best performers, as they should be since they are in the highest class performance category for a street tire.

The RE-11's have the stiffest sidewall, and I think still ride a little softer than the PZeros @ 40PSI.

Quality wise, the RE-11's are the best as well. I am really a fan of the Bridgestone Potenza series of tires.

I am a lot happier with OEM 19's with RE-11's, from a performance standpoint, it is the best option.

As far as noise, between the 3, I really couldn't tell a difference. I am sure there is a little difference between them, but it is nothing that stands out.
