Larry use you charm and tell the French to stop BSing us. I had tried the 295 and 315 cups and apart from the fact that both were in an on going plot to have me killed in the first drop of rain. The 315 were better than the 295.
And I suspect that any GT3 GT2 owner can confirm that.
Besides you know that I can only perform with optimal products : )

i think if the 315 cup was re-introduced it would sell like hot cakes,all 996 owners running 12" rears,997 owners on 18's to drive to track and back and corvette owners on 18's would kill for these i'm sure.
Maybe a poll to see how much interest there is would be a good idea,and hope michelin may listen,not only for mpsc but mpss also,we live in hope

I have used both 315 and 295 cups on the rear of my car,a 996 gt2 and i can tell you that its night and day difference,i simply cannot believe that above 295 isn't optimal, i genuinely think michelin is missing a trick here.

Thanks for clarifying Larry. It makes perfect sense when looked at it from the perspective of "splitting the existing PS2 market".
However, the following statement does complicate the issue on Michelin's part:
It effectively renders the MPSC redundant, and will force Mich to either drop it, as you said, or improve its performance even more to distance/differentiate it from the MPSS.
IOW, with the stated performance of the MPSS, why would anyone still want to purchase the MPSC? Marginal dry superiority v. demonstrated wet and wear benefits.

Also have you seen the prices on these new tyres?!?! Maybe because they are 19s, but wow.
