Not in the Super Sport or Cup 2 that we are aware of.

Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thank you. I went to my dealer this morning. Usually they tell me to go through Tire Rack. They had one set of Cup II tires available. I jumped all over them. They will be installed tomorrow. Thanks to all for the input!

michelin tyres will state the pss are fine for you porsche and were tested with Porsche and are a better tyre than the ps2 which is the best n spec tyre any way, that's the bulls of it.

Most top branded cars now use pilot super sports.

The only difference you feel is slightly less grip?? I would be ok with that if thats the only difference.

The fronts should be available now, the rears by next week Monday. My wheel and tire guys should have them available for drop shippment or for installation in North Hollywood. As I understand it, everyone, inclding TireRack should have access then.

If there is interest, I'll see how many can be obtained, and will post contact information. A group buy is possible. I think the price will be $2,200 plus shipping or plus installation.

I'd be interested as well depending on the price. TR sells a set for $2094 shipped though.

Make sure to contact me before ordering elsewhere. I can do what I can to get a set reserved for you.

Last Wednesday, I called my dealer and asked them to order me a set of PSC2s. They arrived at the dealer today and are going on this Friday. So, perhaps the supply is catching up to the demand...
At that time, I'm having the air dam plastic replaced, too. It got scuffed up pretty good last winter - even with the front axle lift.
So, new shoes for Saturday's autocross

Yes, please order through Damon first if he has them as he's a forum sponsor. If he's out, my vendor is happy to help.

Damon does a good job of keeping you informed about your order. Painless.

I put a set of MPSS on my car as it tends to rain a bit in SW OH.
