I guess since the "S" is no more, why not?

Unless they blow the Star Specs out of the water I don't think I'll consider them. They would cost me about $200 more a set than the Star Specs. I can't wait for Tire Rack to do their testing on it though; that tread is an interesting pattern.

I think I'll stick with Star Specs. The price difference is too much. Also while looking at Tire Rack, I found a $50 rebate on Star Specs so I think the decision is obvious (I'm about to get a new set on all 4 corners)

The jury is still out on the 11's. I've heard mediocre things.

They look like the PS2s.
