Default MPSC v. Yoko Advan A048

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with both of these tires as street tires. I've driven the MPSC on the track in my RSA and they take some time to heat up. Also, I've had decent luck with Yokohama Advan tires on other cars (i.e., Lotus) for street use, but I didn't experience the max grip as being as high as the MPSC. I'm tossing around the idea of getting a GT3 and wondering if anyone uses the MPSC for the street and track and, if so, how they compare with the Yokos (if known).

My preference is for the A048 and AD07 on the street and shaved RA1 for the track. However, Toyo is still not making a correct rear size for Porsche so this creates a bit of a problem.

I have used both on Track and Street. The MPSC will let go with way more warning at the limit. On street the MPSC never get warm enough to perform and if you ask me, they are wasted on street. You can live with the A048 on the street.
The best solution is to have two sets of wheels. One with MPSC for track and one with PS2 for street.

Yes, with the 048 fitted you will think you are driving a tank/bandwagon. They are that noisy!

Really?! Heck, I can't even hear mine over the engine, exhaust and all the other general clatter!
