Don't worry about N rating. There are a bunch of threads about it
In any case, its not something to be concerned about

The PSS is a better tire than the PS2

As Porsche9 said, sumi makes a really good tire for low $$. HTR ZIII is a better performing tire than the HTR ZII. I had the HTR ZIII's for a while and had I not tracked them hard, I would still have them as my DD tires. I now have PSS for my DD tires, but bear in mind, I got them for free. Had I been paying, I would have gone with HTR ZIII for my DD wheels

I have a set of wheels/tires I use for AX and track and those are RE-71's

Sounds good but Michelin has a good rebate going right now and we arnt paying full retail. I've read reviews for cheaper options and there seem to be good value options out there, however it's hard to say no to a Michelin in Greenville SC.

unless Michelin is doing a 50% rebate the Sumi's are still a lot less and will probably last longer
