Ah....so he works in the "Prime" tire building plant?
We toured US1, but I want to see Prime
As for the PSS tire ride, it was no worse than any other fully treaded performance or regular tire and I have been on many. I put over 600 miles on these so far in heavy rain at speed, at speed, etc and they were rock solid as I knew they would be.
Much quieter than the KDW2 due to smaller tread blocks
I had heard/ read some folks thought they were a little rougher taking potholes, elevation transitions, etc but I found them no worse than Toyo RA1s, Bridgestone's, BFGs, etc. and actually better in worse holes!
I am sure the use of Twaron stiffens the ride a little, but I will take a firm consistent contact patch in all conditions vs a softer ride any day.
