Default Cup 2 R tires- limited release only for GT2/3
Spoke with my Michelin rep and they note that the Cup 2 R tires are going to be released within the next 2 weeks but only for the GT2-RS sizes.
06447 - 325/30ZR21
01528 - 265/35ZR20

They will have other limited sizes, including for the GT3, in Q1-2 but could not confirm anything past that. FYI: If you guys are on the fence regarding the N rated 4s tires for the GT3, they will have an updated tire coming out Feb 1 if you can wait that long. The most recent N rated 4s set came out 2/18.

They mentioned that they will be available to order directly from your Michelin dealer- I'm guessing your regular outlets like Tire Rack, Discount Tire, your dealer, etc..

The same size at GT3 RS. I'm getting a set installed by my dealer via TireRack in a couple of weeks. looking forward to comparing against Trofeo R and SC2.

I would love to but running them at CAL Speedway while also running 3 other cars for this event (and Charity Rides) will make it a bit overwhelming but I will certainly report back on the tires when I settle back into the office.

Thanks....
