For Zone 1 competiton and Parade competition in 2015, the limit will also be 140 treadwear rating. See rule change info below.
The limit on treadwear for 2015 has been approved but will be set at 140 minimum for Production Category (Showroom Stock Category remains at 140 minimum). R-rated tires (less than 140 treadwear) on automobiles will be required to run in the Improved Category.
The only exception here would be for automobiles as delivered from the factory with less than 140 treadwear. These SS Category automobiles will be allowed to run in their respective Production Category classes provided no other alterations have been made to the automobile and they are using the N-spec tires specified by Porsche for that year and model; otherwise they will be required to run in the Improved Category with all other R-rated tired automobiles.
We will continue to monitor the tire manufactures’ treadwear ratings and in the future will consider raising the 140 minimum in both SS and Production Categories to 180 or above and possibly tying it to the required N-spec for SS Category automobiles.

That's what I was hoping. But I think that it says: if you've got an SS car that came with tires below 140, then you can race in "Production" class instead of "Improved".
I raced the my 997 C2 in Production class. Production class isn't shrowroom stock. It allows many modifications. I'm trying to avoid the Production class because I prefer to know what cars I'll be competing against (versus competing against a bunch of random P-cars with various undisclosed mods).
