There's a dozen new posts a day asking about these same tires. Toss a coin. I went with the S04s because I've had them before and they rate almost as well as the PSS for about 20% less $$

That's what I wanted to hear, thanks I know im annoying with this one...

If they are that close in price, I'd get the Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position if you're leaning towards a tire with better handing and grip. If you're after a softer ride, I'd lean towards the Continental Extreme Contact DW, but hard to go wrong with either tire. Note that I am in the same boat as DieselRacer...Had PSS and replaced them with S04.

If I were to do it again I would have paid a bit more and get the Continental. I heard they are a beefier tire. My Hankook V12 was alright but the sidewalls are big like the DW
