Default Michelin MPSC N1's

Does anyone have any feedback on the Michelin MPSC+ N1's?

I heard they made slight changes from the NO's but don't know what the actual differences are.

Thanks for any info.

They have a wider tread pattern to help remove water better than the MPSC - I have just had some fitted to my RS.

At a Sebring Porscheplatz talk Michelin basically said the the N spec MPSC are a different compund and tread pattern than any other MPSC. They are not as sticky as other MPSC sizes I have been told.

MPSC are great tires, but do not last long. I have 3700 miles on my car (2200 track miles) and am now fitting my 3rd set of tires. They are Michelin Pilot Super Sports so hopefully they last longer!

1198r certainly pointed out some differences, I thought you mis-typed as your answer was so OT
I am interested in answer, I have tried both in 325/30 and can't tell the difference on the road (wet and dry) but that means nothing !
Would be good to know what compound differences there if any and what I "should" be feeling....
