I considered them but went with the Bridgestone RE11A's instead b/c they were cheaper & came in a wider size. I also considered the Dunlop Z2's.

Have them on my FR-S. Used for the summer. Love them. Too bad the FR-S doesn't even have enough power to fully utilize these tires.  | |

Would you guys say the SS's are worth the money over the DW's?

I changed my tires from DWS (275/30/19) to PSS (255/30/19) and the width stayed the same... Be careful of what size you order, much wider than you'd think.

Great tires...... Only gripe is the pricing, but you have to pay to play.
They're quite quiet on aggressive turns. Handle amazing but like all Summer tires, they have a short life span in comparison to All Seasons.

I'm very happy with how they perform. Even in the pouring rain they were excellent.
The Conti DWs I have on my Civic SiR and they are great tires as well. But like mentioned, they are noticeably softer than the PSS.

- How is the tire wear and how many seasons or KMs have you gotten out of them? | I have the PSS on my RL in a staggered set-up and have been using them since March. Off the top of my head I would say I have put on between 16,000kms and 18,000kms on them. I know that's a bit of a range but I can't crunch an exact number at the moment.
On the front I have about -1 degree of camber and my rears have -3 degrees of camber. Both front and rear toes are set to 0 degree. The fronts I would say are worn evenly. But the rears have noticeable inside camber wear. I haven't gotten a chance to measure the exact 32nds of tread but I'm pretty sure I've scrubbed off 2-3 32nds already.
On the Michelin website, it says that with a staggered set-up they are rated for only 25,000kms hahaha. From how it looks, I can probably use them from spring to fall of next year (I use winter tires the rest of the year) and I will need a new set in 2015.
That being said, I do a lot of driving though. My daily commute is a minimum of 70kms and I have taken this car to and from Seattle/Portland numerous times. Plus the driving I do on weekends.
Hope that helps, hehe.
