Do you have any shots of the side of the car? I'd like to see what these look like as opposed to the Pzero's in a profile shot. I hate how the P0's almost look stretched due to their sidewall design.

Ive been debating running these on my car, but I DD the car and it does rain around here. It also gets into the 40's during winter and Im afraid they might be a safety liability for me.

Perhaps the MPS4's are the better move.

I don't have any pics at the moment, but go with the 4S. The 4S and Cup 2 look so much better too.

The P-Zero's are hot garbage. Michelin is the best tire maker in the world hands down. The P-Zero is on everything these days.

If you find any 2018's for sale they should have the Michelin's on them.

I have run several sets of the N0's and two sets of the N1's. There is a noticeable difference in the N1's over the N0's. Great tire for DRY spirited driving or track duty, but very sensitive to temperature.

These are killer tires—got 13,500 miles out of a set on my GT4 with a little meat left, and that included plenty of miles driven as intended and 1.5 track days, with the 0.5 being Patrick Long knocking about in my car for a story.

Only issues with them are noise at freeway speeds and standing water. I even like them in the wet once they have some heat in them...

They're not terrible in the rain. I've noticed they understeer in the wet (aggressive wheel jerking) but it's controllable. Definitely better with heat in them and the mid corner grip is still there on damp roads.

Would the same front and rear N rating carry over for the MPS4? Is that a standard setup N0-Front & N1-Rear?

I believe the OEM Michelin on 2018 modes is the N0 all around.

I'm running regular non N rated up front and N1 in the back because that's what the ebay seller sent me.. I didn't really care for the N rating because the difference is really not that drastic and regardless they'd be an upgrade over the Pirelli.

I think only GM guys care about getting OE spec Cup 2's because those cars are secretly getting Cup 2 R cheater tires (that's how GM fools you with good track times). Maybe the GT3 track junkies also care about the N rating.. Other than the lip protector it doesn't really matter to me.

2 negatives on these tires for everyday driving:
Very low wear index of 180 and not terribly good in the wet. However, in dry track condition its superb.
