Default PSC2 purchase?

Finally broke my GT3 in this weekend on the track. However in two days I basically destroyed the Dunlop tires my car was delivered with, and got a nail in one of my rear tires after spinning off the track.

I was just on tirerack.com, and they are back ordered on the rear Michelin PSC2s.

Anyone have suggestions on where to find PSC2s?

PCNA probably has some inventory - do you have a local shop that works on enough P-cars to be able to source from their inventory? One of the shops here does it for me when the track shows out of stock and normally just charges the rack price rather than dealer prices.

Call your dealership. Tire Rack keeps a stock for dealerships. Same price.

Word on the street is that there are no more mpsc2 rear anywhere in the country. You may be sol. Trofeo r, Dunlop, and contiforcecontact are your alternatives

Oh yeah. That too. I just didn't like them because they didn't grip as well and heat cycle out before the tread is gone

I did not know that, how much of a difference did you notice in wear?

OP: the Dunlops don't last long, I ate up a set in 2 weekends.

The front tires on the Nspec wore through the tread in 4 days
The front tires on the K spec still had plenty of tread after 6 days, but were heat cycled out after 4 days
