I'm at about 50,000 with the advans for my Nissan. They won't be needing replacement for another 5,000 miles. So in my opinion they are excellent tires! Both wear and performance

Im tempted to replace my tires with Yokoham Advan Sports. Anyone have any experience or advice with these tires?

Super Sport is basically an updated version of the aging PS2 design. I'm sure they did their research and figured if the Super Sport was more competitive in pricing it would sell better.

I believe you have the tire sizes incorrect... Should be front: 225/40ZR19 and rear: 255/35ZR19, thats what is listed on my OEM tires. Price came a little differently, but for sure is less

Not all of us run stock sizes. I am running 245/35/19 in front and 285/30/19 in back with excellent success. Do a search and you'll find my thread, and a few more.
