Nice tires. I have them at just under 35psi and they've been great. After the few hundred mile break-in period, it seems to ride pretty smoothly and has fantastic grip in wet and dry conditions.

One thing I found strange is that when I hit a particular overpass (curved) I used to feel rock solid at high speed on the old REO50A's. These tires are just as sticky but feel a little 'bouncier'? For lack of a better term. Maybe it's just part of the 'feel' of the tires.

Anyway, I'm happy with them.

I was running 275/40/18 rear and 255/40/18 front Michelin Pilot Sports at 35 psi and found the wear pattern was starting to cup a bit. Raised the pressure to 38 psi cold and will recheck tire wear this fall. As a upside, the car seems to be handling better around town and not much stiffer road feel.

Use this info at your own peril

Hey im running the same tires. I have a digital meter which is very accurate. I inflated anywhere from 33-37 as a test. 37 is too roughh, bouncy..33 is too soft..a little too much lean. I settled on 35 which in coincidence is where stock is at.

How much are you guys paying for these ps 2's. I'm looking to get a set of these in 275/35/19 and 245/35/19.

Tires were from Tire Rack and they came to just a hair under $1200 (OEM sizes for the 19's). Paid $130ish to have them installed.

I think Discount Tire (store) will match Tire Rack but charge you tax, however, they installation fee will be reduced from $30 a tire to about $11 so it basically sums nicely in the end.
