Any pricing? Tirerack price for the only available Super Sport is actually pretty good, only 20s and 18s, and if 19 comes in between these price, it'd be cheaper than current PS2 prices!

225/40ZR18 (92Y) = 186+mph (300kph) $238.00 (ea.)
285/30ZR20 (99Y) = 186+mph (300kph) $415.00 (ea.)
315/35ZR20 (110Y)= 186+mph (300kph) $469.00 (ea.)

I did not ask. I believe I read that it might actually be less than the PS2.
I'll believe that when I see it.

Do you drive you car in downtown Vancouver?

I work for a company that is headquartered in Bentall Towers.
Been there once. Would love to have had a Porsche on the road to Whistler.

Oh yeah, I take that road every once in a while... amazing! The only thing is that it's just literally full of cop traps ALL OVER... when I was in college I remember a buddy of mine got fined over $1500 going back and forth to Whistler (2 tickets going on, one coming back!)!

What I really want to know is..... if you buy 4 tires, do you get a free hat like the moderator was wearing?

Has anyone managed to get a release date for the N-Spec version of the Super Sport?

remember this is *not* an R spec tyre. Its a UHP/summer street tyre. Having said that, and driven it I expect it to lead that particular segment.

The short answer is no, Michelin is not releasing any dates yet for either N-spec or additional fitments other than those announced for the 4/1 launch.

I would *guess* that the 1st N-spec we will see might be on the 991.

I have high hope on this tire. I need a set for my RS for wet days. Will buy them even if they cost more than MPSC.
