about 80-100 miles on the tires now, not feeling it's better than the PS2...

or does it need more miles to break it in?
All my testing (auto-x, wet skid pad, road course) with the PSS's has been with no break-in and they have performed amazingly from the start!

The Pilot Super Sport tire manufacturing facility does not use mold release agents and all molds are either bare or coated with an industrial coating/not lubricant.

This coating reduces friction, improves wear resistance and is used for non-stick applications. An example would be non-stick cookware (like DuPont's trademarkedTeflon).

All of the Pilot Super Sport molds (both in EU and the US) have these coated molds.
