PS2's are on!!!

voi9 · 02-21-2008, 05:33 PM

First thing's first:
Thank You Tators Dodge (Viper Wizard) and Jon B (PartsRack) for top shelf service and professionalism.
First impressions during 1 1/2 hr. drive home from Tators Dodge:

TDS dramatically reduced; ( Jon B will chime in and explain)

Steering feels much lighter. If it was a 10 with runflats, I would say a 5 with PS2's.

Road noise reduced. If it was a 10 with runflats, I would say it is now a 5 with PS2's.

Much softer feel over bumps. If it was a 10 with runflats, I would say a 4/5 with PS2's.

Significant decrease in wheel hop when leaving hard in first gear. If it was a 10 with runflats, I would say a 4 with PS2's.

I also noticed that the wheel weight's that were on the rims from the factory (which were many) are either not there on some rims to maybe 4 on another rim. I don't know how much lighter the PS2's are than the runflats, but I'll guess maybe 5 lbs lighter per tire. Any bit of weight loss helps.

Keep in mind that the weather today is 32 degrees outside so I wasn't trying to drive too spirited and did not try any abrupt lane changing or fast cornering. Overall, I am very pleased with the result's so far.

I'm almost finished wearing down my runflats. I can't wait to put some
PS2's on the car. It sounds like they are a blast. Who did you order them from, if you don't mind my asking?

I just took delivery of a 300 mile VOI9. And always wondered about all the fuss surrounding Runflats.. After my first drive that consisted of about 2 miles. I found out.. VERY harsh, very "bouncy",very loud.. I am thinking of switching them out as well... But hate to take off tires, from a brand new car. I have a feeling once the weather breaks. I will be doing this as well.

If the run flats are so horrible....I will send you my address and you can send them my way. Either way you look at it, it is rubber to burn.

I knew I would get some kind of response to that rating, but I figured it was the easiest way to explain although it is very subjective
To answer your question about LL;

: I would rate her a 1.
