you know you can try them fir up to 30 days and take them back and trade them for a different tyre ?

I think you would be surprised at the SS ... they really have come up with a technological advantage

A chart buried in the Michelin official press release late last year states that track users can expect 50% more laps than they get out of PS2s. Don't know if that helps or not.

I'm looking for a 18" RA1 replacement, nothing so far...

Everyone says R888 are crap. Don't know where to go next

I do not know, however I do not believe they will be N spec.

Porsches N spec for the GT3 is MPSC+ or Corsas I peronally don't think they will homologate the SS for the GT cars.

my guess is that the 1st N spec SS will appear on the 991

Michelin will take them back if I do DE's with them? Say I go to Sebring for the weekend...2 days and I don't like the tires as DE tires (I'm sure they are awesome street tires)...they will have some serious wear for Advanced Solo/Instructors group...Michelin will take them back?
