ride is more subtle -
no comparison at all.
Bridgestone S001 is just as good on gripping, yet so far seems to last a little longer than ps2... guys think twice before going into ps2, I'm about to change my front tyres again... only lasted 1year! *sob*

like any racing better grip means faster speed but down side is faster ware too, this is why PS2 are the best for road use they last much longer.
Tyres that last longer always mean less grip.

no bill re11 dont last that long, I have had my for 1 year and 45% is already gone.
also many ppl say re11 only last about 2.5 to 3 years max.
PS2 will last for 4 to 5 years
these on normal drive not pushing it
I heard that the CONTI SC are good too but only US uses tham not eurpe, also the Hankook are very good too.
I think I will try Hankook next time, many Porsche use this

Probably but lighter wheels + tyres combo is more enjoyable to drive.
