Dubai 1 the image has been removed because it showed the license plate. Unless you are the owner, do not post images with readable plates. Your earlier post was deleted for this same reason.

Indeed "Dubai1"...I small investigated today....so the car has been actually sold by Ali@Sons Abu Dhabi but due to the airfreight which came to Dubai, the car has been delivered by Al Nabooda to a customer in Abu Dhabi. It looks superb........mine comes in Jan2014. Cheers

And, yeah, it goes without saying that MPSC2 will offer much more grip.

MPSS is actually quite a good track tire as far as street tires go. Only RE-11 and AD08 are comparable - some say better. Yes, they (MPSS) have soft side walls and some people don't like the feel. I say get over it - they perform very well for street tires whether you (plural) think they feel weird or not. Let's not be bench-racer Leh Keen's here.

Correct! all round great performers and very capable on a wet track... Use them as my street and wet track tyre. Their weakest point is a lack of outright traction under heavy braking on a dry track, they tend to ABS easily through lack of grip... A problem I don't find with my RS3s which I use on dry track.

Chris what an absolute shame they dont make the Z221 & Z214 in your sizes for dry track use. These tyres (Z221) knocked 2.0s+ a lap off a short 3km track over RS3 & RE11 for me...for 19 and 20 much more limited R compound although a few mates with 7.2 GT3 have moved to the Tofeo for a change over the MPSC

I've noticed that too. If I understand correctly, MPSS uses a stickier compound near the outside edge versus the rest of the tire, so that would mean you're not using the stickier compound much (or at all) under heavy braking, particularly if running substantial neg camber (I'm at 2.5 degrees in the front).

I use MPSS on the track as rain tires, but have used them for several days on dry tracks and was able to equal or better the times of several people running NT01s in similar cars in advanced groups. My point being that, yes, R comps are much better on the track but MPSSs aren't too shabby as far as street tires are concerned. If you have to run street tires at the track, MPSSs are an excellent choice IMO. So are RE-11s, AD08s, and the RS3s that someone above mentioned.
