The rev/mile are the opposite of what you want. I have this size but in DWS on my 02 x50 now and it seems to drive fine. I little squirrelly at the track, but awesome here in the mountains with snow and rain. Being closeout, you might get some old tires (date code). Putting on a set of PS2s in stock sizes on Monday, With roadforce ballance and all said and done $1.6k out the door ouch. I will write up a comparison.

I didn't catch that..yes, revs should be lower up front.

let is know how you like the PS2s. Josh and I are still digging the Yok Advan Neovas...

The Advan neos were second choice, only because of wet weather perf and potential noise. Oh and not N rated (probably cause my car to explode and kill everyone)😲. But they probably would have been better on the track.

There on sale for a reason.

Worst tire ever. I ran a set for a short while and took them off.

Loud, hard tire.

If not going PS2 go with Hankook or Simo's

Yes I just put these on a 997 turbo and it has made the car extremely sketchy at speed, or turn in. They feel like you are driving on flat tires and car isn't connected to the road. Sidewall like an inner tube. That sidewall makes the car ride very smooth though. Never thought I would replace a brand new set of tires, but the car absolutely sucks with these tires.
