I own a 2017 GSF now but I just rented a 2018 M4 (Competition)

We saw a lot of cars skid in Taiwan... I think the main culprit could be THE TIRES!!!

This weekend I was driving my GSF on mountain roads again. I suddenly found a new E class was approaching from the back. So I decided to wait for it and also confirmed that E class was not slow. Then suddenly I increased my cornering speed. Guess what... That E class just totally disappeared in my rear mirror after just ONE corner!!! Yes. Just one corner!!! And, it kept disappearing until I stopped at an intersection.

I think for the most of the other cars my GSF even with an average driver like me is still very fast!!! I also confirm my GSF(Ohlins DFV) provides much more confidence and precision feel than any other cars I have ever driven before including M4/M5, Porsche!!!

It's really worth the price and the change(from my previous G35S + KW V3 or PSS10)...

If possible, I would like to add another Japanese USED, CHEAP and RELIABLE super car like NSX in my garage... Then my life is COMPLETE!!!

PS: Even though I may not own a NSX or GT-R in my whole life, I think I still be very satisfied with my current GSF... I believe my GSF should still be very closed to the best in the market...

Comparing with GT-R I would say my GSF is a different kind of a performance car!!!

It's a performance car which is more mature and doesn't do STUPID FAST things... I think even my G35S and M35X keep doing stupid fast things all the time (due to their much more aggressive throttle responses). As a result, the MPG suffers and tires wear much faster...

My GSF is calm most of the time but becomes a beast immediately when it's pushed... So my GSF becomes a more mature(smarter) performance car... (if considering PSS tires from my GSF last for 50K kms and its MPG is better than G35S)

I don't say stupid fast is not good. I would say both stupid fast and smart fast are good!!!

Nissans will push me to drive fast all the time and feel most of the cars on the roads are slow... I also think BMWs could be even more stupid fast!!!

I also think this smart fast performance car is more efficient and better to drive on a daily basis and in a long run...

So I can save more money to buy another performance car in the future!!! (Just like my extremely reliable used and cheap Nissans)

Comparing with my Nissans, I think my Toyota could be even better...

I really think PSS tires are overrated...

2007 G35S 3500lbs, front 225 RE760(RE001) tires
2017 GSF 4000lbs, front 255 PSS tires

Believe it or not, the much wider and much more expensive PSS tires do NOT provide better(maybe worse) traction on GSF than narrower, less performance grade and cheaper RE760(RE001) on G35S!!! (although G35S is 500lbs lighter)

I'm very disappointed. I think will NOT buy any Michelin tires again... They are just OVERRATED!!!

Just like my previous experiences on PSS tires, they are good only at the first half of their lifespans. The performance on them could deteriorate and become dangerous at the second half of their lifespans....

In my opinion these PSS tires are too soft... If you keep corner your car aggressively all the time, the outside edge may lost tread easily and the situation become very dangerous when they past the half of their lifespan...

I did the same thing on RE760(RE001) for at least 8 years and never had this problem before!!! However, I also admit RE760(RE001) are not so good at wet.

One more thing...

The front cambers on G35S are -0.35 and those on GSF are -1.2. So based on those tires reviews and car setup, PSS should out-performance than RE760(RE001) by landslide... However, in reality RE760(RE001) still provides more cornering prowess than PSS... (I'm really disappointed on PSS tires!!!)

In my opinion those PSS tires are like German cars... Only good in the BEGINNING!!!
