What offsets are you running? Hmmm I thought you are in the same boat as me and still waiting on your car?

John, I would be interested in your opinion of the dry weather grip of the Mpsc vs the Mpsc2?

Thx John. Have ordered a set for each of my GT2 and C6 Z06. The RS 4.0 will likely be next when the MPSCs wear out which may likely be never with current market !

Mooty, do you have a picture of your 991gt3 on 19"s? I'm curious how the wheel well looks. I was thinking about 19"s, but it doesn't sound like it makes our tire choices much better? It only really makes it worth it to me if I can get tires with similar or better performance for at least $500/set less. Thoughts?

I thought it was interesting that MPSC2 tire cost for 19" vs 20" are basically the same.
That lower control arm bolt in the back gets REALLY close to the wheel when running 19" sizes. Gets me nervous.

i'll get pic
not sure it will be $500 less
even so, it will take many many sets to get cost benefit.
most 19" wheels are 7000+
i bought them for looks haha
