They [PSIs] are to manufactures spec.

The rears are now directional and are mounted in the correct fashion.

Yes they are still quite new. I can still smell the rubber when I walk up to them. I do know that they are gripping better than the worn out PS2s though. There is some run off water on my way to work and I would constantly spin the [old] tires when leaving from that spot. I don't do that anymore.

That is what I am beginning to wonder. Only I think that since my PS2s in front are almost at the replacement point that it is those that are limited in the traction department. I've read somewhere that these cars have a tendency to push. I might have made that issue worse now by having more grip in the rear than the front. Every other car I have owned has been somewhat numb to tire selection. This thing is really sensitive! As a matter of fact the minute I took it from Discount Tire I could tell that there was something different about its handling.
Thanks for your insight guys bobo54545 & Display_Name!
