What track were you at? Was it Road Atlanta? RA is not that tough on tires.

4sevens, just looking at the wear pattern it seems a little more negative camber would be a good idea. Outside edge is cords, everything to the center is about bald, but continuing across, by the time you get to the inside shoulder it's 4-5/32".

The PSS should hold up better than a PS2 and I have never seen a PS2 do this in one day.

If the car is understeering for example, ease up a little bit on your corner entry speeds, otherwise your tires are going to die.

Pilot Super Sport in the wet...
On the first day of the 2011 Tire Rack One Lap of America, the first challenge was the wet (with sprinklers) 200' skidpad g-load competition.
Before the start, Brock Yates Jr. in a 550 BMHP BMW X5 M took to the skid pad to demonstrate how to do the run... First two green flag timed laps counter clockwise and then two laps clockwise. Lowest elapsed time (and therefore highest grip) wins. He set a baseline just over .80 g. This very competition set off with the top-seeded cars going first. This included Modified Subarus, EVOs and GTRs... Our car was #18 and it came our turn. I was the first in the entire field to beat Brock's score with a g reading of .826. We took first place in this competition, briefly leading the entire event. PILOT SUPER SPORTS are REMARKABLE in the wet... They seem to be holding up very well in the overall competition this week as well. Bravo, Michelin. PS: This photo cribbed from one of Tire Rack's online photo albums. If this was from the Woodward family, or someone else at TIRE RACK, Thank you very much!
