Current set. Wear is good. lots of rear-end grip. I can still spin them at hard launches. Corner control is good but can get upset if I hoon around on S-curves. Throttle oversteer is possible on damp roads. Need to be careful during initial rainy season. Run stock 32psi all around. Strong sidewall. For a RFT, they are quite comfortable. It's a bit loud during highway speeds.

Long lasting tires. Takes quite a beating. Cornering is good but I feel the Bridgestones S001 are better. They seem to track the ruts more. No hydroplanning on the wet puddles. Good transitioning properties with good grip during cornering. I think if you want a more lively characteristic, the P-Zeros in that respect is better than the S001.

These are not the great PSS. These are the Sport A/S with the V-shape treads. Quiet and comfortable tires. Good wet performance. Cornering is OK being an AS tire I managed my expectations and never had the same confidence as summer tiers. The tires started to chunk not long. Inner and outer treads were coming off and it wasn't even that old. Very disappointed. I noticed this is a trait of other Pilot Sport AS too. I would avoid this tire.

Would Buy Tire Again? No. As I got a winter car now. RX-8 goes into winter hibernation.
It was OK. Got me through Vancouver mild winters. Didn't get stuck nor hydroplane. Wished I got it with higher sidewall.
