For me the prices on these vs the MPSSs is about $100, since that isn't enough to persuade me one way or the other which tire do you guys think I'd be happier with.

That's funny, I'm on the even lower end. I was looking hard at these tires but decided for almost $100 less ($92) per tire, I'm getting the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. It's not even in the same class, Ultra High Performance Summer Tire vs Max Performance Summer Tire but I think it'll suit my needs.

From what I've read and seen, I think those Firestones will be the best tire bang for the buck made. I bet they're better performance wise than my DW's.

A new set of the latest Conti tires on brand new sets of 20" wheels. Both sets of tires are 275/35 and 305/35. 4orceFed has the HRE's and mine are the 6GR's.

^Look good! Pics installed?

I don't have a pic with the new tires and wheels because they are sitting in the garage waiting for me to finish the old tires off. Here is my 6GR 'track' set with same dimensions of wheels and tires in the now older Conti DW tires except the rear is a 315. Soon those wheels will have a dedicated set of track tires. This pic is more of a side shot to give a better perspective of the depth. I should have the new 'street' set on in a couple weeks but they won't look much different than the pic.

Here is a picture of my Conti's installed. The more I drive on these tires, the more I love them. Never had MPSS but these are hands down, the best tires I have ever had on any Mustang that I have owned.

Another picture of the tire from the rear. This is a 305/35/20.

The tread pattern to me looks almost identical to the PSS, I think there may have been some reverse engineering going on

Lots of similarities for sure.

for anyone unsure you conti gives you 60 days to try them out or return for refund. Literally got nothing to lose. I didnt consider DW before because it was worth the price difference to get PSS, but not anymore...

Not really. Check out the article, they go over it quite in depth.

Todd, great pic and glad to hear you like them so much. I'm really looking forward to the experience myself.

These may compare to the PSS but what about the new 4S?

4S is similar in the dry and much better in the wet. Should be similar to the ECS in every aspect.
