MPSS. My experience since buying my 09C2S with nearly new 305/19 rears and 70% 235/19 fronts has been excellent. Did 6 Sebring track days prior to buying dedicated set of track wheels & tires and relegating he SS's to street only use. Great, consistent grip on track if hot pressures are kept below 40 psi. Excellent on street in dry and wet South Florida conditions. Also relatively quite and comfortable. Have 12k miles on them including the track days with plenty of tread depth left. N spec not meaningful to me. Can't go wrong with these IMHO.

Like the title says, I am about to buy a new set of tires... Getting them from Costco and a set of 19" Bridgestone Potenza RE050A'S out the door are around $1,400 and the Michelin PS2's are about $1,800... are the Michelins worth the extra $400 bucks? Which set is quieter?
(Also my local Porsche Dealer price matched Tire Rack).
I wouldn't let Costco touch my P-Car....

If the pricing of PS2 and super sports were the same, no question in my mind that the PS2s are better. But when the pricing factor is considered, I would go with the Super Sports.

I would also call your local Porsche dealer. They might have the equipment and their prices are not that much more than specialty tire shops.
