I've put about 500 miles on these tires. My initial impressions so far are very good. The tires handle pretty well in all aspects of my daily driving. The PSS have a pretty rigid sidewall so it never feels as if the tire will break away on you on very hard cornering. Its very predictable and will not squeal on you unless you are pushing the tires pretty hard. The tires are smooth and quiet on all road surfaces...as expected of Michelins. I do like the fact that the sidewalls do not have that design printed around the edges of the tread blocks. And I like the fact that the tread blocks aren't as rounded like they were on the PS2s. The tire nibs are still in place and the tires look great when shined up!

Here's a pretty good write up about Michelin PSS over the competition.

I love my Michelin PSS's. Wicked tires!! But what I love even more is my new JoeZ exhaust....WOW....the sound of this system is definitely not captured on any youtube video. Sounds 10x better.

Just got my PSS today [OEM spec] and man what a difference. From reading this thread, I see people are upsizing and I had a rookie question [haven't seen anything on the forums] - is anyone running 255/35/19 for front tires on stock suspension with no rubbing? I was thinking of putting my rears up front and going with 285's in the back. Thoughts on that? Thanks in advance.

I spoke with the tire shop manager at Costco a couple months back, and he said the $70 off occurs every other month. One month it's Michelin, the next month it's another (forget which brand), then the next month it's back to Michelin. This is a recurring cycle, so don't fret too much if you miss it by this weekend.
