Thanks for the PSC2 thoughts. I've considered those before, but I've no experience with them other than amazement at the prices they charge for them. I do have a set of RE-71Rs for the M3 which have been fantastic at autocross of course. PSS for normal use on that car.
Back to the PSC2 and perhaps related to the quoted link above, you need to be mindful of picking a size that is a car-maker-specific version of the PSC2 and then mixing it the generic version. In the tire engineering world, they use the term "mixability" to rate whether two tire designs are allowed on different ends of a car. I don't know any specifics of the PSC2, but tire makers who create brand specific tire versions (and often those are car-specific within the brand) are totally at the beckon call of what the car maker wants. Some want a tire that will create huge grip in the initial couple of 32nds of wear, for example, to create great reviews and test data for the magazines/media...that type of thing. The worry here is running say the "normal" version of the tire on one end and then the car-maker specific version on the other end (since it's the only option for that size). I have no idea if that is related to the quoted poster's issue of course. Back to the RE-71R for a moment...great tires, quick wear, quick heat up on an autox course, awful "sizzle" noise in street use (running over pavement features, like the lane marking material, creating loud sizzle like noise). I can put up with that for driving to events, kind of like putting up with awful NT-01 truck tire-like-roar.

The TEAL wheels have a reinforcement lip which protrudes more than a regular wheel. When I mount 275 R1 tires vs the 275 RE71 the wheel lip still is the contact surface with the shock unless I use the 3mm spacer |
