Forget the N rating BS on these tires, even though they may one day be designated as OE. Went playing around with my TT tonight that has brand new PS2s. These things will already outpeform and outgrip the P-Zeros and they are not even broken in yet. These have to be the best tire I have ever been on.

I attached a photogarph showing the outer edge up close. The outer edge might as well be solid surface or continuous like a track tire as there is only a narrow line separating larger blocks and the narrow line on the far outer edge is very shallow. These things have grip for days and the car now rides like it is on rails. Cannot wait until they get nice and broken in.

 

Oops. Forgot the picture.

 

To spare someone the same question I had - those are Michelin Pilot Sport 2's. I didn't know who made them...

 

There is difference between that tire pictured and the tire on my car. It may be in part to size. The outer groves are much narrower and extrmely shallow at the out edge on mine which does not appear to be the case on the tire rack photo or the photo you found. The out edge on the tire could bascially be a slik in no time at all. They still have th deep groved rain channel and were supposedly the fastest tire in the wet at Tire Racks test of these and a couple of other top gun tires.

 

sorry Doug, didn't mean to cause confusion!

 

None at all.

 

And they are very light as well!
